NewHash is a terrible name - on par with Xbox One [X] and iPad New. Googling stuff will be hard, and good luck explaining to less technical-savvy users what is this all about.

Plus, in 100 years, when SHA-256 is compromised, what would be the name of a new new format?

I was under the impression that it's just a placeholder until the actual new hash function was decided on.

Also the whole point of this transition plan is that it will be a completely optional, per local repository, transition. So less technically savvy users won't have to worry about it in the first place.

Can someone explain the name? It does not look like a good name. Or is NewHash just a placeholder name for the git project because the haven't made a final decision on a new hash function? (It's hard to google and find out)
