[darcs-devel] [issue1521] patch bundle hash check not done early enough to detect corruption

[Eric Kow]

New submission from Eric Kow <kowey at darcs.net>:

Observation by Petr in issue1382, msg7413.

This requires a volunteer to study the code and figure out (1) where we think
we're performing the check and (2) whether it can be done earlier.

A good sanity check to begin with would be to take a patch bundle which we think
is corrupt and actually compare the hash to make sure.  If we do get a failure,
then we are more sure that this bug is legit
