Getchecksums command line client only accepts algorithms with an even number of characters when also specifying checksum salt

When specifying algorithm manually using the -R parameter and also specifying salt using the -S parameter, validation fails if the argument to -R is an odd number of characters:

[assf@int-bitmag-01 bitrepository-command-line-0.24-SNAPSHOT]$ ./getchecksums.sh -c integrationtest1 -i foo -R MD5 -S abab
