*	use SHA256 by default	Joey Hess	2011-11-04
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	To get old behavior, add a .gitattributes containing: * annex.backend=WORM I feel that SHA256 is a better default for most people, as long as their systems are fast enough that checksumming their files isn't a problem. git-annex should default to preserving the integrity of data as well as git does. Checksum backends also work better with editing files via unlock/lock. I considered just using SHA1, but since that hash is believed to be somewhat near to being broken, and git-annex deals with large files which would be a perfect exploit medium, I decided to go to a SHA-2 hash. SHA512 is annoyingly long when displayed, and git-annex displays it in a few places (and notably it is shown in ls -l), so I picked the shorter hash. Considered SHA224 as it's even shorter, but feel it's a bit weird. I expect git-annex will use SHA-3 at some point in the future, but probably not soon! Note that systems without a sha256sum (or sha256) program will fall back to defaulting to SHA1.

*	update documentation for new, neutered key-value backends	Joey Hess	2011-08-28
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Backends are now only used to generate keys (and check them); they are not arbitrary key-value stores for data, because it turned out such a store is better modeled as a special remote. Updated docs to not imply backends do more than they do now. Sometimes I'm tempted to rename "backend" to "keytype" or something, which would really be more clear. But it would be an annoying transition for users, with annex.backends etc.
