If the first 18 bytes of the SHA1's of all entries are the same then
sha1_pos() dies and reports that the lower and upper limits of the
binary search were the same that this wasn't supposed to happen. This
is wrong because the remaining two bytes could still differ.
Furthermore: It wouldn't be a problem if they actually were the same,
i.e. if all entries have the same SHA1. The code already handles
duplicates just fine otherwise. Simply remove the erroneous check.
