+## Handling Mixed Generation Number Chains
+
+With the introduction of generation number v2 and generation data chunk, the
+following scenario is possible:
+
+1. "New" Git writes a commit-graph with the corrected commit dates.
+2. "Old" Git writes a split commit-graph on top without corrected commit dates.
+
+A naive approach of using the newest available generation number from
+each layer would lead to violated expectations: the lower layer would
+use corrected commit dates which are much larger than the topological
+levels of the higher layer. For this reason, Git inspects the topmost
+layer to see if the layer is missing corrected commit dates. In such a case
+Git only uses topological level for generation numbers.
+
+When writing a new layer in split commit-graph, we write corrected commit
+dates if the topmost layer has corrected commit dates written. This
+guarantees that if a layer has corrected commit dates, all lower layers
+must have corrected commit dates as well.
+
+When merging layers, we do not consider whether the merged layers had corrected
+commit dates. Instead, the new layer will have corrected commit dates if the
+layer below the new layer has corrected commit dates.
+
+While writing or merging layers, if the new layer is the only layer, it will
+have corrected commit dates when written by compatible versions of Git. Thus,
+rewriting split commit-graph as a single file (`--split=replace`) creates a
+single layer with corrected commit dates.

+Choice of Hash
+--------------
+The hash to replace the hardened SHA-1 should be stronger than SHA-1
+was: we would like it to be trustworthy and useful in practice for at
+least 10 years.
+
+Some other relevant properties:
+
+1. A 256-bit hash (long enough to match common security practice; not
+   excessively long to hurt performance and disk usage).
+
+2. High quality implementations should be widely available (e.g., in
+   OpenSSL and Apple CommonCrypto).
+
+3. The hash function's properties should match Git's needs (e.g. Git
+   requires collision and 2nd preimage resistance and does not require
+   length extension resistance).
+
+4. As a tiebreaker, the hash should be fast to compute (fortunately
+   many contenders are faster than SHA-1).
+
+There were several contenders for a successor hash to SHA-1, including
+SHA-256, SHA-512/256, SHA-256x16, K12, and BLAKE2bp-256.
+
+In late 2018 the project picked SHA-256 as its successor hash.

-Choice of Hash
---------------
-In early 2005, around the time that Git was written, Xiaoyun Wang,
-Yiqun Lisa Yin, and Hongbo Yu announced an attack finding SHA-1
-collisions in 2^69 operations. In August they published details.
-Luckily, no practical demonstrations of a collision in full SHA-1 were
-published until 10 years later, in 2017.
-
-Git v2.13.0 and later subsequently moved to a hardened SHA-1
-implementation by default that mitigates the SHAttered attack, but
-SHA-1 is still believed to be weak.
-
-The hash to replace this hardened SHA-1 should be stronger than SHA-1
-was: we would like it to be trustworthy and useful in practice for at
-least 10 years.
-
-Some other relevant properties:
-
-1. A 256-bit hash (long enough to match common security practice; not
-   excessively long to hurt performance and disk usage).
-
-2. High quality implementations should be widely available (e.g., in
-   OpenSSL and Apple CommonCrypto).
-
-3. The hash function's properties should match Git's needs (e.g. Git
-   requires collision and 2nd preimage resistance and does not require
-   length extension resistance).
-
-4. As a tiebreaker, the hash should be fast to compute (fortunately
-   many contenders are faster than SHA-1).

-We choose SHA-256.
