As far as I can see it's using the BSD tagged format,
which the coreutils sha512sum command can parse.
I.E. the following format is supported since v8.20 (2012-10-23)
SHA512 (filename) = ...

Ah, okay, my mistake. `sha512sum -c sources` works fine. I accidentally ran `shasum -c sources` twice!
Thanks! I wasn't previously aware of this format being a standard anywhere. `man sha512sum` has enlightened me :)
