Hash is appended to file name.

[alee122]

I was running through the setup tutorial and after running "tuf commit" each file's hash was appended to the beginning of the file name, which doesn't match the tutorial. If that is the correct behavior it would be helpful to update the tutorial so that people don't dive into the code thinking there might be a bug to fix.

@alee122 you are correct, would you be willing to fix the tutorial and prefix the filenames with hashes?

[alee122]

Sure! Glad I asked because I reinstalled it a bunch of times thinking I was going crazy. What was the thought process behind your decision to deviate from the original TUF paper?

It's not a deviation, this is consistent snapshots: https://github.com/theupdateframework/specification/blob/master/tuf-spec.md#7-consistent-snapshots

Oh I see, I was going off the 2010 paper (didn't realize it was that old until I checked just now).

[alee122]

Would you rather I wrote <file_hash>.baz.txt or write out an actual hash? If I were to use an actual hash I would also show the creation of baz.txt so the hash would match a user set up if they followed the directions exactly.

[alee122]

Oops.

The docs use example shortened hashes for keys so perhaps just make up some similar shortened hashes for the files.
