Hi! I'm sorry this isn't any easier yet. In Darcs, one approximation of this sort of thing is to take the whole history (sequence of patches) and hash that. Unfortunately, this approach fails to recognise different darcs-allowed patch orders as having the same history. It's fine as a conservative default, but we'd like something better. See [short secure ID](http://wiki.darcs.net/Ideas/ShortSecureId) for some thinking about the problem.
