Should git-apply or git-am come up with the same hash?
I think I'm missing something. I was under the impression that git's usage of a SHA-1 hash commit identifier meant that one could be certain that patch obtained from someone else for that commit had not been altered. Take this test I did on my machine (name and email changed, obviously): cd dogcatcher dogcatcher> git log commit 926f347567a9da6f7692aca0e23d13f094d9e3a6 Author: Joe User <joe@test.com> Date: Sat Dec 17 15:28:55 2011 -0600 3rd branch commit commit 11e8055aa5e8f0d323c48b4f691adced7a8a9762 Author: Joe User <joe@test.com> Date: Sat Dec 17 15:10:44 2011 -0600 second branch commit
