--- Comment #1 from Nicolas Dufresne (stormer) <nicolas.dufresne at collabora.co.uk> ---
I'm coming from far, but I have the impression that this shift was meant to
make the addition non-commutative. So if the orders of files changes, you'll
get a different hash. If this is exact, the implementation is incorrect, you
need to rotate the hash, that means saving the last bit, shifting, and adding
back that bit.

Though, when I look at what it is doing, what we really care about is that
hash, the order in which files are listed shall not matter. For this reason, I
suggest to simply drop that shifting.
