Research direction

The report names no file, test, or entry point. Start by reviewing the repository's existing file-search and object/hash capabilities, then determine whether hash-based duplicate detection is supported or would require a new feature. Done would require a clear implementation scope or a documented answer with alternatives.

Description

Hi, I've tried to search but can't find anything.

I would like to avoid duplicate files with different names. To do this. I would like to search the repository if there is a file with the specified hash of.

  • it's possible? How can I do?
  • Do you have alternative solutions?

Best regards.

P.S. Why didn't you open the discussion on GitHub? false problems like this would be avoided.
