For anyone who didn't know yet...
Apparently there is a hash thingy in the API, but it doesn't seem to
be documented. I am checking that out.
cheers,

Answer of Roan Kattouw:
You can't search by hashes for now, but you can check an image hash with
api.php?action=query&prop=imageinfo&titles=Image:Foo.jpg&iiprop=sha1
Also, note that the bot at #commons-image-uploads2 is downloading and
hashing the files as they're uploaded and comparing with deleted ones:
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/cgi-bin/deletedimage.py
It's only a small subset, but if anyone wants them i can search/give him
the file.
