The following is X-post from radicle-git#151:

multiaddr define composable and future-proof network addresses.

Addressing a specific commit could look like this /git/5a179104a6f9e9a2c95562496c88bf514871a1d3

i came up with the idea that git could be added as a content addressed protocol, where you specify the Sha256 of the commit you want to fetch, and radicle might be the perfect backend to support this multiaddr format.

As far i understand, it is already possible with radicle to fetch a git repo with only specifying the Sha256, without knowing the repository name. it that true ? How do you guys handle the existing Sha-1 collisions ?

more about: multiformats/multiaddr#169

any thoughts ?
