+extensions.objectFormat::
+	Specify the hash algorithm to use.  The acceptable values are `sha1` and
+	`sha256`.  If not specified, `sha1` is assumed.  As with other keys under
+	the `extensions` hierarchy, this value is ignored and has no effect unless
+	`core.repositoryformatversion` is 1.
++
+Note that this setting should only be set by linkgit:git-init[1] or
+linkgit:git-clone[1].  Trying to change it after initialization will not
+work and will produce hard-to-diagnose issues.
