the ratio of relevant new relevant to this problem information/new information is low.

If a low signal/noise ratio is still the purpose of information then the thread is less interesting than Linus mail:

- if we add size it will make forgery harder - yes SHA1 should be replaced

What linus is missing is people rewriting history. This will not be a concern for git, but certainly will for any crypto currency relying on SHA1 in a close future. (Hint this transaction belonged to me)




I'm not aware of any crypto currencies that rely on SHA1.

Can you name one that does?


I wonder what would the effect be if there was one.


Bitcoin is a popular one. 2 sha-1 rounds.


No, it uses SHA-256


What does that have to do with git?
