Re: Thinking aloud.

Hi Martin.

Thanks for your response - I'm no cryptography guru, so it's good to 
hear from people who obviously know more than I do. I guess the way to 
go then is to build a table of hashes that have been seen and compare 
the actual content if/when you get a collision? I suppose that would 
also help in seeing whether/how often pages have the same content.

Also, may I ask?: How does checksumming a page compare to using SHA1 
hashes for git blobs? I've read that Linus isn't concerned about 
collisions there, but don't fully understand why it's not an issue 
there, but is here.

Regards,

Nigel
