The claim that OpenSSL is the default SHA-1 backend hasn't been true
since
e6b07da2780 (Makefile: make DC_SHA1 the default, 2017-03-17),

backend was more common. The current wording was added in

NO_OPENSSL without losing git-imap-send.
- By default, git uses OpenSSL for SHA1 but it will use its own
- library (inspired by Mozilla's) with either NO_OPENSSL or
- BLK_SHA1.

- "libcurl" library is used for fetching and pushing
repositories over http:// or https://, as well as by
git-imap-send if the curl version is >= 7.34.0. If you do
