Re: deb_checkmd5sum?

For educational purposes only: That's just a silly suggestion, beyond the obvious of searching for files named deb_checkmd5sum, of which there are none - doing a full text search on a terabyte of files is just too resource intensive. In any case, it turns out to be a procedure call inside Tig
