There are various git subcommands (among them, clone) which don't set up
the repository (that is, they lack RUN_SETUP or RUN_SETUP_GENTLY) but
end up needing to have information about the hash algorithm in use.
Because the hash algorithm is part of struct repository and it's only
initialized in repository setup, we can end up dereferencing a NULL
pointer in some cases if we call one of these subcommands and look up
the empty blob or empty tree values.
A "git clone" of a project that has two paths that differ only in
case suffers from this if it is run on a case insensitive platform.
When the command attempts to check out one of these two paths after
checking out the other one, the checkout codepath needs to see if
the version that is already on the filesystem (which should not
happen if the FS were case sensitive) is dirty, and it needs to
exercise the hashing code at that point.
In the future, we can add a command line option for this or read it
from the configuration, but until we're ready to expose that
functionality to the user, simply initialize the repository
structure to use the current hash algorithm, SHA-1.

Commit 78a6766802 ("Integrate hash algorithm support with repo setup",
2017-11-12) added a 'const struct git_hash_algo *hash_algo' field to the
repository structure, without modifying the initializer of the 'the_repo'
variable. This does not actually introduce a bug, since the '0' initializer
for the 'ignore_env:1' bit-field is interpreted as a NULL pointer (hence
the warning), and the final field (now with no initializer) receives a
default '0'.

In future versions of Git, we plan to support an additional hash
algorithm. Integrate the enumeration of hash algorithms with repository
setup, and store a pointer to the enumerated data in struct repository.
Of course, we currently only support SHA-1, so hard-code this value in
read_repository_format. In the future, we'll enumerate this value from
the configuration.
Add a constant, the_hash_algo, which points to the hash_algo structure
pointer in the repository global. Note that this is the hash which is
used to serialize data to disk, not the hash which is used to display
items to the user. The transition plan anticipates that these may be
different. We can add an additional element in the future (say,
ui_hash_algo) to provide for this case.
Include repository.h in cache.h since we now need to have access to
these struct and variable definitions.

Since in the future we want to support an additional hash algorithm, add
a structure that represents a hash algorithm and all the data that must
go along with it. Add a constant to allow easy enumeration of hash
algorithms. Implement function typedefs to create an abstract API that
can be used by any hash algorithm, and wrappers for the existing SHA1
functions that conform to this API.
Expose a value for hex size as well as binary size. While one will
always be twice the other, the two values are both used extremely
commonly throughout the codebase and providing both leads to improved
readability.
Don't include an entry in the hash algorithm structure for the null
object ID. As this value is all zeros, any suitably sized all-zero
object ID can be used, and there's no need to store a given one on a
per-hash basis.
The current hash function transition plan envisions a time when we will
accept input from the user that might be in SHA-1 or in the NewHash
format. Since we cannot know which the user has provided, add a
constant representing the unknown algorithm to allow us to indicate that
we must look the correct value up. Provide dummy API functions that die
in this case.
Finally, include git-compat-util.h in hash.h so that the required types
are available. This aids people using automated tools their editors.

We enumerate several different items as part of struct
repository_format, but then actually set up those values using the
global variables we've initialized from them. Instead, let's pass a
pointer to the structure down to the code where we enumerate these
values, so we can later on use those values directly to perform setup.
This technique makes it easier for us to determine additional items
about the repository format (such as the hash algorithm) and then use
them for setup later on, without needing to add additional global
variables. We can't avoid using the existing global variables since
they're intricately intertwined with how things work at the moment, but
this improves things for the future.
