What I think is worse about the SHA1 hashes is that history rewrites *will* cause those hashes to change (and thus *will* break all affected by-hash references/links). This is why I think we should rewrite our history as much as possible earlier rather than later, then later on not to rewrite history at all. -- Giel -- "Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live." -- Rick Osborne
