SHA-1 hashing throughout
Why not SHA-256?
I think the majority opinion is that sha1 is fine for
non-security purposes like monitoring files for changes to
obviate superfluous work in a build system; for which DUB
seemingly would use the sha1 checksums. I have (had) a script
that would backup files, and I'd use sha1 to detect changes
instead of sha256 because the latter's storage and computational
requirements were not insignificant compared to the former. This
is just my perspective, however. I could be talking nonsense.
