I follow you on the mathematics of it. But I'm not looking at the 1 in a billion (or whatever it works out to be) chance, I'm looking at addressing all files...
For SHA-1 (160 bits) it would take 2^80 random documents to have even a 50% chance of collision between the hashes of any of them. 2^80 is an incredibly large...
