+	Specify the hash algorithm to use.  The acceptable values are `sha1` and
+	`sha256`.  If not specified, `sha1` is assumed.  It is an error to specify
+	this key 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
