  If this goes forward, can this be gated by a config option (even if it is on by default)?  IIUC, this will change the hash for merges, and then cascade.  That seems problematic for convert operations.
  
  Most converts will do things that change hashes anyway, but the default options don't change anything.  This is a convenient behavior for easily migrating to/from LFS, for example.  (In theory, anyway.  In practice, I've seen repos where a convert alters the changelog.)  If there is a config option, convert should probably disable it by default to maintain the current behavior.  I can see a use case for enabling it though, to clean up the repo.
