A new hash algorithm for Git

Re:A new hash algorithm for Git by tcharlton on Tuesday February 04, 2020 @04:08AM (#22233651)

I can't find documentation for the command in the article:

    git convert-repo --to-hash=sha-256 --frobnicate-blobs --climb-subtrees \
    --liability-waiver=none --use-shovels --carbon-offsets

Surely some of those options aren't real...

Oh dear god. Because it's git related, my brain somehow still tries to make sense of that stuff because it just seems so real.

It's a curious feeling. Like reading code that is syntactically valid but utterly nonsensical.

I believe we have here an example of Poe's law [1]

That seems to be intended to be humour.

Well, I loved it, for one.

> A new version of Git can be made…with a simple command like: <command> … note that the specific command-line options may differ

Gives me the impression that it’s a construction of the article alone. Unsurprising, given the snark of the options.
