This kind of sounds like a non-answer, but its mostly useful if you want a hash of the revision. I dont think mw core really uses it, but it can be useful for quickly detecting duplicate revisions. I think primarily it is for external users.
Core does duplicate detection (when so configured) for adding the revert / reverted change tags.

Afair this avoids a new rev to be createad if you click "save" without changing contents.
That actually uses to slot sha1 now (I guess as a micro-optimization because that way you don't need to re-hash slots which weren't edited).
