Create a hash collision by adding a special dummy file to each changeset. That means using lots of computing power (the better the hash, the more you need. Hopefully it is impossible with reasonable computing power). People will hate you for implementing this, as changeset hashes become useless for referring to a certain version of a project once this 'feature' is in use.
