We should be able to eliminate that limitation, I think.

(Assuming I do merge in SHA1 support, then) I don't mind leaving md5.c
linked in.    Is your opinion that md5 security is _so_ bad that
revisions currently using it should be changes?   Or would it be
enough to just use sha1 on new revisions?
