I'm +1 for changing it (with good warning time to handle the buildfarm
situation), but also very much +1 for waiting to see exactly what upstream
(git) decides on and make sure we change to the same.  The worst possible
combination would be that we change it to something that's *different* than
upstream ends up with (even if upstream ends up being configurable).
