But it does not change a thing. Since v0.99~653, we do not have any 
collision check, even if compiled with COLLISION_CHECK.

So why it is left in Makefile? Does defining this change a thing
or not (in which case this section should be removed)?

It does not. The relevant parts in the code read like this:

sha1_filc.c:1442
                /* FIXME!!! Collision check here ? */

sha1_file.c:1541
                /*
                 * FIXME!!! We might do collision checking here, but we'd
                 * need to uncompress the old file and check it. Later.
                 */

It was hoped that the people who actually care would implement that 
functionality. (Note that in an earlier version, the check was 
implemented, but would have to be different these days: pack files did not 
exist then).
