git 2.40.0 index.skipHash incompatible with libgit2

The recently introduced index.skipHash
config setting seems to create index files that are incompatible with libgit2. This option is enabled with feature.manyFiles
which some users have enabled to improve performance.
See: git/git@ffd9238
Reproduction steps
- With git 2.40.0, run
git clone -c index.skipHash=true https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2.git
- Run
libgit2/build/examples/lg2 status
Expected behavior
Successfully opens the repo.
Actual behavior
Fails with the error:
Could not get status [-1] - invalid data in index - calculated checksum does not match expected
Version of libgit2 (release number or SHA1)
8f8e805 or 1.6.2
Operating system(s) tested
Any

Any process?

git actually enables feature.manyFiles
automatically with the version of git it's introduced in. So it can be expected that every user with a recent version git will have it set except for the very very few that follow git closely enough to know it was added, and have a specific reason to disable it.
