checksums

[jonathanong]

we currently don't do any checksums on github files. to do so, we would have to get the sha1s of every file in a separate API request (i.e. the tree), which is going to be slow. would be nice if github added a checksum to every raw request.

yea that would be nice, we also get ratelimited with the API :(. working on the registry some more tonight

yeah it's not that bad since it's only 1 api call per repo and you've got 5k an hour. unless you use all the components it shouldn't be a problem. but it's an extra .5 seconds per component!

becomes an issue with CI etc, I've definitely hit it even just indexing component.io but I should have the registry up and running this weekend unless something comes up
