@ -23,6 +23,9 @@ these backends.
* `SHA512`, `SHA384`, `SHA256`, `SHA224` -- Like SHA1, but larger
checksums. Mostly useful for the very paranoid, or anyone who is
researching checksum collisions and wants to annex their colliding data. ;)
* `SHA1E`, `SHA512E`, etc -- Variants that preserve filename extension as
part of the key. Useful for archival tasks where the filename extension
contains metadata that should be preserved.
These backends store file contents in other key/value stores.
