Ok, the image metadata for sha-1 hashes is now

Please setup a batch job to eventually populate the sha-1 metadata for
non-deleted images. We'd like to use it for duplicate image
detection.
It's been running since Friday.
We're already doing this against the deleted
images... A bot downloads
the image, computes that sha-1, checks the filearchive table based on
the SHA1, and if there is a match it complains in IRC and the new
image is tagged.
Why do that in a bot instead of the wiki?? :)
