Summary 💡

In addition to SHA3-256 (or just SHA-256), supporting Blake3 would be great.

Motivation 🔦

Blake3 is extremely fast and secure.

Once #281 lands it should be possible to more easily plug in many other hash algorithms at hearts content. To make these useful, the git project would have to adopt them first and SHA256 is already kind of stalled, so I don't see any of this happening anytime soon.

It's worth noting that for git performance, the hashing algorithm isn't the bottleneck, the compression algorithm is.
