If we go with a 'uuid_mode' option, my inclination is default it to

SHA1).
I'd be inclined to make them two separate choices, because sha1 in the
index is still very valuable for integrity checks and potentially
duplicate finding (post dated "single instance store" even!)
Agreed.
Do we want to to rename the UUID field (CHECKSUM? SHA1?) as part of the
work? The original name is rather accidental, and there is obvious
potential for confusion with UIDs.
