Why not just use line numbers?

Forces you to read after every write. E.g. you edit line 15 to be two lines. Then now you need arithmetic for later vs earlier lines or you need to read full file to reindex by line number.

Good point!

I just wonder how unique these hashes will be if only 2 characters. It seems like the collision rate would be really high.

I was wondering the same thing.
