So maybe git should import the SHA1 code into its own source base? It's not like the SHA1 code changes often, or is likely to have security issues (at least, not buffer overruns; if SHA1 gets thorouhly broken we might have to change algorithms, but that's a different kettle of fish :-). - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
