So you use hardened sha1 in radicle? It would be great to see this in the docs.

Everything that is replicated on the network is stored as a Git object, using the libgit2[0] library. This library uses hardened SHA-1 internally, which is called sha1dc (for "detect collision"). Will add to the docs, good idea!
