Jira (PUP-5714) Add a 'git' checksum type for file resource sources

[Josh Cooper (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Josh Cooper commented on PUP-5714   Re: Add a 'git' checksum type for file resource sources Some implementation notes: Add a new type of checksum to the file type, e.g. checksum => 'git'. The git hash could be specified in the manifest, e.g. checksum_value => 'CAFE...', computed from a function, e.g. checksum_value => git_hash('modules/ntp/ntpd.conf'), or inlined as part of the static catalog process. In all cases, the checksum value is specified in the manifest at compilation time. The agent needs to implement the git checksum, which amounts to computing the following hash: SHA1(header + content) where header is blob <length>\0 where <length> is the content length. The agent can then compare the current git checksum against the desired checksum, and the master would not need to calculate any checksums.
