As I understand that this is a demonstration series, the approach above is OK as an expedite way to illustrate one way how run-time switching could be done. The approach however is not very thread friendly, though.

The use of union is a good ingredient for a solution. I would have chosen to do this slightly differently if I were doing it.

        typedef struct {
                int safe;
                union {
                        SHA1_CTX_SAFE safe;
                        SHA1_CTX_FAST fast;
                } u;
        } git_SHA_CTX;
        void git_SHA1_Init(git_SHA_CTX *ctx, int safe);
	void git_SHA1_Update(git_SHA_CTX *ctx, const void *, unsigned long);
	git_SHA1_Final(uchar [20], git_SHA_CTX *ctx);

where SHA1_CTX_FAST may be chosen from the Makefile just like we currently choose platform_SHA_CTX. SHA1_CTX_SAFE could also be made configurable but it may be OK to hardcode it to refer to SHA1_CTX of DC's.

As you already know, I am assuming that each codepath pretty much knows if it needs safe or fast one (e.g. the one used in csum-file.c knows it does not have to), so each git_SHA_CTX is told which one to use when it gets initialized.
