Uniqueness of Rev. Hex Id.s

[Pietro Moras]

Summarizing
info so far received on the subject:  

--"Secure
Hash Algorithm"
SHA-1,
40
hex digits, all used internally, first 12 in display.


--Odds
of collision for the 12 digits are one in 16 million, relatively
harmless (i.e.:  easy to recover).


Anything
to add? Remarks? Thanks!
