Subject: [PATCH 3/3] setup: fix reinit of repos with incompatible GIT_DEFAULT_HASH
Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2025 17:24:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250130-b4-pks-reinit-default-ref-format-v1-3-d2769ca01207@pks.im> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250130-b4-pks-reinit-default-ref-format-v1-0-d2769ca01207@pks.im>

The exact same issue as described in the preceding commit also exists
for GIT_DEFAULT_HASH. Thus, reinitializing a repository that e.g. uses
SHA1 with `GIT_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256 git init` will cause the object
format of that repository to change to SHA256. This is of course bogus
as any existing objects and refs will not be converted, thus causing
repository corruption:

    $ git init repo
    Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/repo/.git/
    $ cd repo/
    $ git commit --allow-empty -m message
    [main (root-commit) 35a7344] message
    $ GIT_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256 git init
    Reinitialized existing Git repository in /tmp/repo/.git/
    $ git show
    fatal: your current branch appears to be broken

Fix the issue by ignoring the environment variable in case the repo has
already been initialized with an object hash.
