Yeah. I would actually like to get here in the long-term, but of course
that change is much larger than this one (the protocol would have to be
adjusted to learn a new "tailsum" capability for callers to negotiate
which checksumming hash function they want to use, etc.).

I dunno.  I was talking about strictly local tail sum, like the ones
in the index file.  You do not have anybody to negotiate about
anything.

We already agreed that the name of a packfile is a different matter.
