Additionally, sha1sum tells you what was actually used, not what the hash was the last time it was seen by git. If a file is modified after the fact sha1sum will catch that. Maybe you care where it originally came from, but I'm not sure that it really matters - if the user isn't using the actual ebuild out of the tree they should be attaching it to the bug anyway. And if you care that much where the ebuild came from you should be storing it in git in the first place. -- Rich
