A little more research.

The files in this directory are from Perl's Digest::MD5 module version
2.23, so I can compare the MD5's.  In this case, the actual checksum
matches the md5sum from a freshly unpacked Digest-MD5-2.23tar.gz.

Also, doing a fresh checkout of the directory containing these files
in Subversion matches the Digest::MD5 tar.gz, so the repository is
ok.

Maybe Subversion should add a new command to verify all md5's in a
working copy instead of waiting for a commit to happen.

Or svn status could do this automatically, since it is often run and
needs to read all of the files anyway in the tree, it would be a good
place for a safety check.

Best,
Blair
