Description

See this: https://git-scm.com/docs/hash-function-transition

So, some Git formats now support SHA-256 as well as SHA-1. Fenrir should be able to work with both kinds of repositories.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study Git's hash function transition documentation and understand how SHA 256 affects object storage and reference handling in Fenrir. Then identify areas in the codebase that assume SHA 1 and plan to extend them to support both.
