Cover letter [PATCH 0/2] doc hash-function-transition: minor & major clarifications

Having read through the hash-function-transition.txt again, a couple of things jumped out at me:

doc hash-function-transition: clarify how older gits die on NewHash

We weren't accurately describing how "git status" would die on NewHash repos on new versions.

doc hash-function-transition: clarify what SHAttered means

I don't think we had a good summary of how SHA-1 vulnerabilities overlap with concerns Git has, now that we've moved to the hardened SHA-1.

I may very well have gotten this new summary subtly wrong though. So please review.
