This would be useful for grabs where the exact same images are grabbed with different URLs. There should be a revisit record from an URL to a duplicated URL. Duplicated URLs can be best discovered by comparing the hashes.
This would be used for the flickr Archive Team project. The WARCs would be postprocessed with warcat deduplication.
