There is still a question.Why not just post the the MD5 and SHA1 on
the download page?
I've created a page on the FAQ wiki
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Release-Hashes
The only problem with that is that any GitHub user can edit them (and I do
not think that anybody apart from me monitors the wiki yet).
PS the list prefers bottom posting, so that context is seen before the
answers and comments.
Actually, bottom posting (i.e. quoting the entire mail wholesale, while
answering only specific parts of it) is also frowned upon. It shows a lack
of concern for the readers' time. Which in turn usually elicits a lack of
time for the writer's concern. :-)
The best idea is always to quote *only* the parts that you are responding
to, with just enough context to understand the discussion, and answering
inline. See for example: this mail.
Ciao,
Johannes
