Using BLK_SHA1 in lieu of the OpenSSL routines was done in [1], but
since DC_SHA1 is now the default for git in general it makes sense for
Windows to use that too, this looks like something that was missed
back in [2].
As noted in [3] OpenSSL has a performance benefit compared to BLK_SHA1
on MinGW, so perhaps that and the Windows default should be changed
around again, but that's a topic for another series, it seems clear
that this specific flag is nobody's explicit intention.
