[Monotone-devel] Hash collisions resiliency

[claw]

I have read the documentation on hash integrity, but it doesn't address
my particular questions, which are:

  Should there be a hash collision:

    -- Would I care?

    -- If I did care, how would I know that there had been a collision?

    -- How would I continue to work with Monotone without changing any
    source files in the collision case?  (Assume that they are immutable
    binary files for the sake of the question)  

Please understand that I do realise the improbability of a collision.
