Maybe we should release a modified stable version of Unison that
always uses the old hash function? That should not be too much work,
and should prevent most incompatibility issues.

As an alternative, the Unison client could try with both hash
functions, but that's a lot more work to implement. (In particular, we
would have to include an implementation of the new hash function in
Unison.)

What do you think?
