Nice.

I think we decided to format the above this way.

    #ifdef WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES
    # define GIT_HASH_DEFAULT GIT_HASH_SHA256
    #else
    # define GIT_HASH_DEFAULT GIT_HASH_SHA1
    #endif

cf. Documentation/CodingGuidelines

 - Nested C preprocessor directives are indented after the hash by one
   space per nesting level.
