What did you do?

Let me preface this that this is likely (also?) an issue with the Go mod proxy, and my apologies if there's already an open issue for this but I looked and didn't see one (though one can imagine searching for "git" "sha256" in the Issues is going to return a lot of unrelated issues regardless for this project).

It is, however, unfortunately painfully apparent that SHA256 commit hashes do not seem to be supported:

(NOTE: Please see this comment; the module shown below has been recreated with SHA1 hashes and a new repository/module has been created to test with.)

$ go mod download r00t2.io/wireproto@v1.0.0
go: r00t2.io/wireproto@v1.0.0: invalid version: git fetch -f origin refs/heads/*:refs/heads/* refs/tags/*:refs/tags/* in /opt/dev/go/pkg/mod/cache/vcs/3e171304ac1e55b26a8f8d1dae1cb29af5fc6089d97d912ba5cb27873649d225: exit status 128:
	fatal: Server does not support this repository's object format
	fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
	Gitea: Failed to execute git command

See also here, which provides a bit more useful info.

The same issue is present with 1.23 RC1 as well, of course:

$ go1.23rc1 mod download r00t2.io/wireproto@v1.0.0
go: r00t2.io/wireproto@v1.0.0: invalid version: git fetch -f origin refs/heads/*:refs/heads/* refs/tags/*:refs/tags/* in /opt/dev/go/pkg/mod/cache/vcs/3e171304ac1e55b26a8f8d1dae1cb29af5fc6089d97d912ba5cb27873649d225: exit status 128:
	fatal: Server does not support this repository's object format
	fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
	Gitea: Failed to execute git command

The repository itself is fine (I have so-called "vanity" Go module roots/import paths):

$ git clone git@git.r00t2.io:r00t2/go_wireproto && echo '##' ; rm -rf go_wireproto ; git clone https://git.r00t2.io/r00t2/go_wireproto && echo '##' ; cd go_wireproto && git tag -l

The redirect is correct:

$ curl -H "user-agent: Go-http-client/v1" -sL "https://r00t2.io/wireproto?go-get=1" | grep -F 'content='
		<meta name="go-import" content="r00t2.io/wireproto git https://git.r00t2.io/r00t2/go_wireproto">

And it works fine with older repositories still using SHA1 commit hashes.

What did you see happen?

(See above)

What did you expect to see?

SHA256 commit hashes supported (as they've been in upstream git since ~ early 2021-ish?).

The error form the .info endpoint:

go fetches the a version using git init + git remote add + fetches,
and the local init will use sha1, resulting in a mismatch with the remote using sha256

I needed this library accessible for other projects, so I have deleted the above repository and re-recreated it using SHA1 commit hashes.

In its place, I have turned up a testing repository/module that can be used (and is quite a bit smaller) to aid in testing SHA256 commit hashes with go mod:

https://git.r00t2.io/r00t2/go_sha256repo

The import path is r00t2.io/sha256repo; I have set up an identical import URL for it.

It sounds like we can look at the hash length from ls-remote and then add --objectformat=sha256 to the 'git init' that we do.
