setup: fix reinit of repos with incompatible GIT_DEFAULT_HASH

The exact same issue as described in the preceding commit also exists for GIT_DEFAULT_HASH. Thus, reinitializing a repository that e.g. uses SHA1 with `GIT_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256 git init` will cause the object format of that repository to change to SHA256. This is of course bogus as any existing objects and refs will not be converted, thus causing repository corruption: $ git init repo Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/repo/.git/ $ cd repo/ $ git commit --allow-empty -m message [main (root-commit) 35a7344] message $ GIT_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256 git init Reinitialized existing Git repository in /tmp/repo/.git/ $ git show fatal: your current branch appears to be broken Fix the issue by ignoring the environment variable in case the repo has already been initialized with an object hash.
