I guess we only need to touch "git clone" then. Without being
asked, it advertsizes object-format=sha256 already, and when the
maestro repository is prepared without --object-format=sha256,
upload-pack advertises object-format=sha1 instead. So it probably
is just the matter of capturing it and using it to populate the
extensions.objectformat with an appropriate value.
