Hello,
Does this mean that it is not so hard to adapt SHA algorithm to a better one ?:D
DRH suspected that it would be hard :D :D :D
Of course I don't agree with DRH ; I will never agree with him about security
discuss either ... :-|
Thank to "sgbeal". :-)
Best Regards
K.

And in any event, I don't think centralization is a factor here.
Fossil is better positioned than Git or Mercurial to transition to a
different hash algorithm because the Fossil implementation uses a
relational database as its backing store. Git and Hg, in contrast,
both use bespoke pile-of-files database formats which, I suspect, will
be more difficult to adapt.
just FYI, Linus' own words on the topic, posted yesterday:
