[PATCH v2 0/3] SHA-256: Update commit-graph and multi-pack-index formats

In-Reply-To
<pull.703.git.1597428440.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

As discussed [1], there is some concern around binary file formats requiring the context of the repository config in order to infer hash lengths. Two formats that were designed with the hash transition in mind (commit-graph and multi-pack-index) have bytes available to indicate the hash algorithm used. Let's actually update these formats to be more self-contained with the two hash algorithms being available.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAN0heSp024=Kyy7gdQ2VSetk_5iVhj_qdT8CMVPcry_AwWrhHQ@mail.gmail.com/

This merges cleanly with tb/bloom-improvements, but both that branch and this patch series have merge conflicts with the corrected commit date patch series [2].

[2] https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.676.v2.git.1596941624.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/

In particular, the following conflict can be resolved in the "obvioius" way:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< HEAD
    header: 43475048 1 $(test_oid oid_version) 3 $NUM_BASE
================================
    header: 43475048 1 1 4 $NUM_BASE
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> abhishek/corrected_commit_date
Instead use:
    header: 43475048 1 $(test_oid oid_version) 4 $NUM_BASE
But, it also needs the following fix to actually work with this series:

        EOF

If this is the way we want to go with the formats, then I'll assist
coordinating these textual and semantic merge conflicts.

UPDATES IN V2
=============

 * Documentation is updated, thanks to Eric's suggestion.
 * The implementation of oid_version() and the way we access it in the test
   scripts is improved, thanks to Brian's suggestion.
 * I use "mv" instead of "cp" in the cross-version tests because of a
   subtlety on macOS when overwriting these files.

Thanks, -Stolee
