Hi Jonas

We from the Debian Perl Group would like to drop libdigest-sha1-perl
at some point, see [1]. Most of the functionality (except
sha1_transform) of Digest::SHA1 is also provided by Digest::SHA.
Switching from Digest::SHA1 to Digest::SHA should be in principle as
easy as substituting the use of Digest::SHA1 with Digest::SHA.

Digest::SHA is in Perl core since version 5.9.3 and thus is in
Debian's perl since Lenny.

Changing use of Digest::SHA1 to Digest::SHA would thus reduce external
dependencies by one.

 [1] http://deb.li/digestsha

Now, lib/Git/PurePerl.pm, lib/Git/PurePerl/NewObject.pm,
lib/Git/PurePerl/Pack/WithoutIndex.pm all seems to use Digest::SHA1
such that could be replaced by Digest::SHA.

Could you patch libgit-pure-perl to use Digest::SHA instead?

Bests,
Salvatore
