Not only is it theoretical, the way my objects are packed you'd have to not just generate the same SHA1 for it, it would have to _also_ still be a valid zlib object _and_ get the header to match the "type + length" of object part. IOW, the object validity checks are actually even stricter than just "sha1 matches". - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
