Ah, OK, that allays my worries.  We rely on the fact that unknown
object headers from the future are ignored.  We use something other
than "gpgsig" header (say, "gpgsigN") to store NewHash based
signature on a commit object created in the NewHash world, so that
SHA-1 clients will ignore it but still include in the signature
computation---is that the idea?

Existing versions of Git that live in the SHA-1 world may still need
to learn to ignore/drop "gpgsigN" while amending a commit that
originally was created in the NewHash world.  Or to force upgrade we
may freeze the SHA-1 only versions of Git and stop updating them
altogether.  I dunno.

We also need to use something other than "mergetag" when carrying
over the contents of a tag being merged in the NewHash world, but
I'd imagine that you've thought about this already.

Thanks.
