I should make the small comment that they only break if you are trying
to recreate an old inventory with the new code. The sha sum is still
valid for the actual text bytes that were written.
And we've already broken it, when we switched to putting a newline at
the end of the text.
We were thinking to used testaments anyway.

Oh, and if we switch to testaments, I would want to include a testament
version number in the reference. So you would have:

<revision
...
 inventory_sha1="aoeuaoeuaoeu"
 inventory_version="1"
...

Or maybe inventory_testament_version, basically just some marker so that
we can recreate exactly the same text as was used to generate the sha1,
so that we can maintain backwards compatibility. Rather than breaking
all sha1 whenever we have a format change.
