Well, it was a format we already know how to produce and consume and
delivers a good checksum for each file. The other thing that's easily
used is hashdeep (formerly known as md5deep). I have a private version
that can do SHA512 checksums as well, but upstream wants to solve that
problem in a different way (for over a year now). I guess I could just
package that for Cygwin or we use an SHA256 checksum instead. Of course
sha512sum also works, just needs to be wrapped into a findâ|xargs
invocation.

I don't think I'm going to provide patches for something in Pythonâ
