Painful to read all the 'this isn't an issue because of bad reason X, Y, Z'.
Git can implement checking for easily collided data and warn the user, potentially even look to implement the safer hash countermeasures too. The fact that this isn't a second preimage, or that SHA1 isn't used to auth a repo doesn't really factor in to it.
- swsieber 10y agoBut he doesn't say that they won't implement checks for collided data and warn the user (not in this post anyway). He does say that the sky isn't falling, and there are some steps they can take to mitigate it. Edit: or do you mean all the posts here in the comments?
- meta_AU 10y agoYes to your edit, but I can see the ambiguity.
