But we can recreate SHA-1 from the same content and verify GPG, right? I know it's super expensive, but it feels safer to not carry SHA-1 around when it's not secure anymore (I recall something about exploiting the weakest link when you have both sha1 and sha256 in the object content). Rehashing would be done locally and is better controlled. -- Duy -- 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
