borg 1.x involved the key a bit unusually in the blake2b hash calculation (padding 64B of key material with another 64B of zeros to a total of 128B and then just prepending it to the data).
since a while, we use blake2b from python stdlib and they support passing the key as a separate argument. up to 64B keys are allowed here.
besides the way how the 64B of key material are passed, there are also other differences in how the key gets involved in the digest computation, thus the legacy blake2b hashes from borg 1.x are not compatible with the ones borg 2 will use. The hash is not the same for same key and data values.
