- culprit, we used to show it in a format that does not honor common
- UI tweaks, like log.date and log.decorate. The code has been
- taught to use "git show" to follow more customizations.
+ The base topic started to make it an error for a command to leave
+ the hash algorithm unspecified, which revealed a few commands that
+ were not ready for the change. Give users a knob to revert back to
+ the "default is sha-1" behaviour as an escape hatch, and start
+ fixing these breakages.
