1) I link to the SHAttered paper, as well as Shambles. Git projects were not affected because it is an inefficient attack vector. I say it's impractical to exploit, which I think everyone agrees with.

2) I specifically argue that even if both attacks were practical and cheap, it's still not the problem we should be focusing on.

3) Have you read this email (that I linked to)? It is almost the same general message (20 years ago) that this blog post is. It literally goes though a theoretical object replacement attack and how dumb this scenario is and so SHA-1 is fine.
