Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the two repositories named in the report, test_repo using SHA-1 and test_repo_256 using SHA-256. Start by tracing how the vcs prompt recognizes Git repositories and consult the linked git init object-format documentation. Done means SHA-256 repositories are recognized without regressing SHA-1 support.
