I am not a git expert, but:
Can't you define a pre-commit hook which either computes sha1sum of a
file, and commits the file under this name instead of the name given by
the user, then adds a line to your index file in a post-commit hook?
Can't possible conflicts be resolved automatically if you keep that
index file sorted?
But that would possibly require to rewrite attack descriptions in a
similar way, so that they use the checksum instead of the user-supplied
file name.
And when you checkout the files, they could be renamed to the
user-specified file name again.
Am I mising something? Can this work? Does it make sense at all? How
hard would it be to implement it in a way that works flawlessly?
