you can always try to build the package, which will fail and tell you
what the correct hash was. I forgot, the filename should be:

(file-name (git-file-name name version))

It does, and when the code is not correct, it throws an exception. When 
it is
correct, it returns #<unspecified>, so we need to explicitly return #t.
