Subversion SHA1 collision problem statement

Users of the Subversion source-code management system may want to take alook at thispost from Mark Phippard. He explains how hash collisions can corrupt arepository and a couple of short-term workarounds. "The quicksummary if you do not want to read this entire post is that the problem isreally not that bad. If you run into it there are solutions to resolve itand you are not going to run into it in normal usage. There will alsolikely be some future updates to Subversion that avoid it entirely so ifyou regularly update your server and client when new releases come out youare probably safe not doing anything and just waiting for an update tohappen."
