> SHA-1 will still work fine for the purpose of git. It is just no longer considered secure for cryptographic operations, such as digital signature, that doesn't mean that you can't use it for other purposes, like git does. Using it is still fine and will ever be fine.

This suggests git does not rely on its hash for security properties, which seems false? What is the purpose of pinning revisions or signing git tags?
