True. But I thought that the point of the hashes was to ensure that something which you had already verified (through review or testing or whatever) could not be tampered with without the changes being brought to your attention. And this property does no longer hold.


Yeah, but in your case you would just get the binary, verify it and push it yourself.

If you're using some weird way of getting a binary that you have already verified, but that could somehow differ, and you're hopping that git will catch the difference, you're doing it wrong to begin with.
