I am concerned that MD5 can be weak under some circumstances and weak to attacks (one may forge a file colliding md5 to force the deletion of something from an archive). For this reason I'm interested in enhancing fdupes with a SHA256 detection mechanism in place of MD5, which may be provided by a standalone implementation or by the OpenSSL shared library one.
Do you have any intention to merge such a pull request?
