OK. With this step, together with the previous one, we let Git side to use GIT_SHA{1,256}_FORMAT_ID to specify what algorithm is in use in the repository, and reftable-backend.c layer is responsible for translating them into REFTABLE_HASH_SHA{1,256}, which is internally used in reftable library to convey the same thing.

Which makes sense.
