Yes, that needs to happen, and no, it doesn't happen yet. The new
code stores SHA1 on checkout/update but the upgrade code simply copies
the MD5 and doesn't do MD5 to SHA1 conversion. I discussed this with
Julian on IRC yesterday, the plan is to remove the MD5 support
eventually.

There are two cases to consider, upgrade from 1.6 to latest and
upgrade from older 1.7 to latest. For the older 1.7 upgrade we can
simply use the PRISTINE table to replace the MD5 with the
corresponding SHA1 in the bump_to_19 code.

The 1.6 upgrade is a bit harder. We can do the text-base to pristine
before doing the entries file, so that the PRISTINE table is
available, but the table is not currently indexed on MD5. As there is
now only one table per wc it might be too slow if there are lots of
files. We may need an MD5 index, as part of PRISTINE or separate,
just for the duration of the upgrade. The bump_to_19 code can do the
MD5 to SHA1 conversion before switching to single-db, the table is
smaller and may not need an MD5 index (and the bump_to_19 code simply
isn't as important as the 1.6 upgrade code).
