SHA1 as weakest link?

[kpcyrd]

I'm not sure if you're using git itself or just the idea. If you aren't actually using git, please ignore the next part :)

git uses sha1 for checking integrity. There are known flaws in SHA1. Isn't that an issue for your filesystem? Have you considered using a modified version of git?

We aren't actually using Git, and the hash algorithm currently being used is SHA256. Thanks for the concern, though. :)

And check the paper for descriptions on hashes and formats.
