[Borgbackup] Determine if a chunk should be added to repository

Hi,
I've been reading all I can find about Deduplication. The explanations
say that hashes are used to determine if two chunks are identical or
different. Even though it is very rare, two chunks can have the same
hash and be different. So if chunk1's hash matches the hash of some
chunk in the repository, it seems to me that a byte-by-byte comparison
has to be done before deciding whether chunk1 should not be added to the
repository. Is this the case with Borg?
Thank you,
Joe
