Git 3.0 is planning on defaulting to sha-256 repositories. I assume they'll give a decent heads-up before that happens. A little shocking, though, that GitHub doesn't even have support for sha-256 yet, when most of its competitors do. |

I've heard a problem for the next release this is that @ethomson has gone silent? Is there anyone else that can cut the release? Are there other breaking changes that need to be merged together before 2.0? I personally don't care about breakage at all --- I don't mind if 2.0 is released, then "whoops we need more breaking changes happens", so 3.0, 4.0, etc. are then released in quick succession. I understand if this is the minority view, but I mention it anyways, as it could take some of the pressure off for getting 2.0 "exactly right". |

Motivated to create a list of downstream issues that all point to libgit2 supporting sha256 eventually |

You're welcome to do that, but what would be more useful is if any - literally just one - of these downstream users tried the SHA256 support and reported anything - literally anything - about whether it works for them, or has issues. If there are people that are suggesting that libgit2 having sha256 support is necessary for them - and they're not doing anything to use the sha256 support - then please encourage them to do so. |

The release notes of 1.9.0 tease SHA-256 support in version 2:
Since then, 1.9.1 was released. Some downstream projects (rightfully) defer to libgit2 for any timelines on SHA-256, see, e.g.
My attempts to find any hints about a potential timeline for version 2 failed, but I have to admit that I am not following development of libgit2 very closely.
I would like to kindly ask the developers on whether there is any timeline or not? A gut feeling might be enough. Thanks.
