Note that a repository format change will break a bunch of other
things as well, including references in commit descriptions ("This
fixes a regression introduced in commit 42DEADBEEF") So if SHA-1 is in
danger of failing in way that would threaten git's use of it (highly
unlikely), we'd probably be well advised to find a way to add a new
crypto checksum (i.e., SHA-256) in parallel, but keep the original
SHA-1 checksum for UI purposes.

So we can make them be hidden from "git log" and "gik" by default.
That bit is a bit gross, I agree, but 3rd party verification really is
a good thing, which I'm hoping can be added in a relatively clean
fashion.
