The Perl one has a logic error which meands it can miss some clashes
(rare but possible). In some circumstances the Python one is faster.
Also, as the Python one uses the language bindings it is more likely to
handle non ascii case collisions correctly.

When I get time I will make another performance improvement which will
make it *much* faster than the Perl version. Currently it always does
recursive listings of the repository contents which is time consuming,
it only needs a listing of the directories containing the files which
have been added.
