Hun, the check sums are stored per representation (file). Who cares if
two different files have the same check sum. I thoiught the point is to
detect if unexpected changes have occured in the storage of a specific
version of a file. i.e. has the DB/hardware stepped on our data
somewhere along the line. 'dem bits can be sitting around for a long
time between accesses:-)
