Would it be slightly more consistent to use hash instead of algo here?
And/or to note somewhere that the list of available hash algorithms is
the same as what's printed by gpg --version on the Hash: line?

I imagine that with a slight amount of autofoo the same list that's
printed by the --version option could be added to the man page here as
well.
