This was git, not rsync. Perhaps the hash is only used as an index for a database, and if two blobs have equal hash, one will note it. It is necessary to see the details. As you see, many people do not have any problem with: A=B if hash(A)=hash(B). Perhaps it will become general programming thechnique. Rodrigo.
