The SHA1 collision detection code means Subversion now does very exact
verification of rep-cache references. Subversion verifies that the
fulltext obtained by expanding the rep-cache reference matches the
expected fulltext. This code should also verify the checksum as a side
effect of the fulltest verification but issue 4722 in 1.9.7 means that
while the fulltext is verified the checksum verification is usually
skipped.
