Almost 4 years with fossil (nearly every day) and never noticed a
collision.

According to wikipedia, there has never been a collision discovered in sha1
(and i didn't write that article ;), but there is a "theoretical attack"
listed:

If that is indeed still the case, and people have actively been searching
for duplications, then "very very unlikely" still holds ;).
