On: The beginning of Git supporting other hash algorit...

Since the majority of us are running x64 machines, will the hash be a truncated SHA-512/256 or will it be SHA-256? The former is significantly faster on x64 machines.

The RFC is still under discussion (there are a few plans going around) but the strong contender right now is SHA3-256, no truncation.

We don't.

[koolba → snakeanus]

I didn't say all. I said the majority. If you think I'm wrong, show me a statistic that shows the most common platform for developers using git isn't x86-x64.
