It's configurable.

The default MAC algorithm to be applied on the filenames is HMACSHA1. A stronger one, for instance HMACSHA512, one can be chosen upon creation of the special remote with the option mac=HMACSHA512. The available MAC algorithms are HMACSHA1, HMACSHA224, HMACSHA256, HMACSHA384, and HMACSHA512.

Don't worry, git-annex uses SHA1 just as a checksum, not for cryptographic purposes.
