That's a good idea! I wonder if it would make sense to setup an 
additional job in TravisCI that patches every Git version with some hash 
collisions and then runs special tests.

I think it would be interesting to see the results under various
scenarios. I don't know that it would be all that interesting from an
ongoing CI perspective.

I had the same thought.  

I view such a test as a very good validation while we are finishing
up the introduction of new hash and the update to the codepaths that
need to handle both hashes, so I'd expect such a test to be a good
validation measure.  But once that work is concluded, I do not know
if tests in ongoing basis is all that interesting.
