Some use cases:
* Dump validation (per Ariel)
* Revert detection
* Collapsing reversions in history to hide clutter
* Replacing/augmenting baseRevId hacks in FlaggedRevs

* When reverting, do a select count(*) where md5=? and then do something

finally "we don't need an index on it" becomes "we need an index on

and storage efficiency becomes much more interesting (binary packing yay
;-)
so, what are the use cases and how does one index for them? is it global
hash check, per page? etc
