If there aren't warnings about use of SHA1 in the tool, there should be.
While I don't recall any published SHA1 collisions, SHA1 is considered
broken and shouldn't be used if you want to trust your comparisons. I'm
assuming the tool supports SHA256 and other SHA2 hashes as well? It
might be useful to make sure the defaults are non-SHA1.
