File names are hashes

Why?

stat.h is ambiguous

Even /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-25-generic/include/linux/stat.h is ambiguous

5b5beb89ba449a9271b3c34d44b529d2a2633235 is totally unambiguous

Also, this completely defeats corruption and tampering

Whenever Git fetches 5b5beb89ba449a9271b3c34d44b529d2a2633235, it checksums the contents

If the checksum is not 5b5beb89ba449a9271b3c34d44b529d2a2633235, the contents are corrupt

A bunch of data stored under its hash is called an object

When the data is the contents of a file, the object is a blob
