Hi folks, the other day during a workshop on Git, one of the attendants asked about the scenario when two developers, Jane and David, both working on the same project, both create a commit and the two just so happen to have the same SHA-1. I realise that the likelihood of this happening is about as high as the chance of <insert witty joke here>, but it *is* possible, isn't it? Even though this is thus somewhat academic, I am still very curious about it. What happens when David now pulls from Jane? How does Git deal with this? I imagine it'll be able to distinguish the two commits based on metadata, but won't the DAG get corrupted?
