Thanks for the BLAKE2SP224 pointer; it does solve (1). I'm still looking for the best way to solve (2): registering large remote files with git-annex, without downloading them. `addurl --fast` does that, but creates a non-checksum key. If I can get an MD5 without downloading, I can use `setpresentkey`. But often I only have the MD5 for the fixed-size chunks of the file, not for the whole. Adding a backend variant computable from MD5s of the chunks would solve the problem. Maybe, there are other solutions?
