Description
According https://git-scm.com/docs/BreakingChanges.html , Git 3.0 will make sha256 default object format algorithm.
According https://www.phoronix.com/news/Git-3.0-Release-Talk-2026, Git 3.0 might be released by the end of 2026.
After a short look, I found we only have sha1 support. I think we should do some preparatory work first.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Go module's existing SHA-1 support and how it invokes Git through shell commands, then read the linked Git breaking-changes documentation. The issue does not name files, tests, an entry point, or acceptance criteria, so the preparatory scope and definition of done need to be established before implementation.
