we have a nice example of weirdness about key vs hash here:

1) "key" is computed from file_hash(f)
2) file_hash(f) is computed again and again in hash_for_each_possible()

3) then we use "key" as parameter to hash_add.

Moreover, we're adding dispersion to the file_hash() with the hash_32()
called under the hook within hashtable.h. Is it an intended behavior ?
This should at the very least be documented in the changelog.

Useless.
