-THIS OPTION IS EXPERIMENTAL! SHA\-256 support is experimental and still in an early stage\&. A SHA\-256 repository will in general not be able to share work with "regular" SHA\-1 repositories\&. It should be assumed that, e\&.g\&., Git internal file formats in relation to SHA\-256 repositories may change in backwards\-incompatible ways\&. Only use

+Note: At present, there is no interoperability between SHA\-256 repositories and SHA\-1 repositories\&.

+Historically, we warned that SHA\-256 repositories may later need backward incompatible changes when we introduce such interoperability features\&. Today, we only expect compatible changes\&. Furthermore, if such changes prove to be necessary, it can be expected that SHA\-256 repositories created with today\(cqs Git will be usable by future versions of Git without data loss\&.
