Parent article: Whatever happened to SHA-256 support in Git?

BLAKE3 instead? Much faster, an earlier version of it was a SHA-3 finalist, there's no risk the NSA picked an algorithm they know how to break (there were some irregularities during the competition), can be arbitrarily parallelized.

(Very late reply, but!) https://git-scm.com/docs/hash-function-transition/ mentions that blake2sp-256 was a contender. I have no interest in looking through the big mail thread to find out what happened to it. Could be something about OpenMP.
