My experience with javascript is rather limited, so I just searched the UI 
code for sha1 and added sha224 where it seemed absolutely necessary. I 
haven't looked into the issue other than that.

I just wanted to make my geotagging CL work on top of master.

The offending commit is 38f10a7bd0f97475c2b876a7fde08e4ce47bf224 by the way:

all, testhooks: use sha224 by default, add hook for some tests to use sha-1

Apparently, there are no tests for switching to a new hash yet.

Maybe we should just switch back to SHA-1 as the default for the time 
being, or let the user choose the default hash.

Btw, I haven't found much info on the sha224 shift yet (other than 
stumbling upon the commit in question).

The related issue https://github.com/perkeep/perkeep/issues/537 was 
originally about SHA-3, now it's SHA-2. I don't know much about crypto, but 
the Wikipedia page on SHA-2 mentions SHA512/224 might be a better choice.
