object-format
-------------
This capability, which takes a hash algorithm as an argument, indicates
that the server supports the given hash algorithms. It may be sent
multiple times; if so, the first one given is the one used in the ref
advertisement.
When provided by the client, this indicates that it intends to use the
given hash algorithm to communicate. The algorithm provided must be one
that the server supports.
If this capability is not provided, it is assumed that the only
supported algorithm is SHA-1.
