The hashes can be important for verifying the integrity of the repository.
Even when not "signing" commits, a secure hash is still valuable. The more
secure the hash, the harder it is to hide corruption.

Also, the description of the "PGP command" setting says "Command used to
clear-sign manifests at check-in." This suggests that only the manifest
itself is signed. Therefor, the GPG signature relies on the hashes - in the
manifest - generated by Fossil
