I will point out that with the SHA-256 work, reading the config file becomes essential for SHA-256 repositories, because we need to know the object format. Removing the config file leads to things blowing up in a bad way (what specific bad way I don't remember). That may influence the direction we want to take in this work, or not. -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
