Hello, I am relatively new to git; I have only used it to track other git projects, and sometimes to format and send patches to them, but never to handle my own projects. Now I am considering using git for my next task at work. I am wondering about how git behaves currently, if I kinda win the lottery of the universe, and happen to create a commit with a SHA-1 that is already the SHA-1 of another commit in the previous history. However improbable. Would that be detected, so that I could just add a newline, and then commit with a different resulting SHA-1, would I just lose one of those commits (hopefully the new one), would I end up with a corrupted repository? I found some mention of this in the archive, more about SHA-1 security implications, that were dismissed, but here I am looking at just a random, very unfortunate case, and just wondering if in this case I would end up in a FUBAR situation.
