git creators refuse to migrate because they selected sha1 in the start and because of backwards compatibility its harder to just change it. Also git is a situation where its harder to get a maintainer to push your binary blob. In a database, its more probable that a user includes malicious data. The hash used is not so easy to change, unless you are willing to make the change not backwards-compatible (break existing DBs)
