Fixed trivially in r1759686.

It appears that it might be very hard to get such data into the
repository because we use the same parser function in e.g. the
network layer and the editor drivers. Not sure we all for MD5s etc.
to be missing in all relevant places.

That said, it is at least conceivable that some all-0 SHA1 snug in
in an earlier version (1.5?) as a result of some inconsistent code.
Those occurrences would be dormant and inconsequential pre 1.9
and they should stay that way. Therefore, I proposed r1759686
for backporting.
