On IRC, Branko and Johan raised concerns about the proposed backport.
The proposed backport allows files with SHA1 collisions into the repository
and avoids de-duplication of such content by the rep-cache. It fixes the
integrity problem with the rep-cache but other problems remain.
Clients will still suffer from the consequences of having such files in
the repository. The RA layer cannot de-duplicate content, the working
copy's pristine store is broken by such content, etc.
So the question is whether we want to even store such content before all
parts of the system are ready to handle it. Some users will likely keep
asking for a way to reject this content because of the ripple effects
it can cause. Many users may perceive a risk even if "only" working copies
can be rendered unusable by committing such content, because dealing with
fallout can be highly disruptive to the actual work people have to get done.
We can block such content from entering the repository with a patch such
as the one below. This check will only be done if rep-sharing is active.
But since rep-sharing is active by default this patch will work for most
of our users.
This could be further extended by the config knob to give users a choice.
I don't see a good way of adding such a knob in a patch release, though.
Perhaps that could be done for 1.10.
