Got sources from git/svn/cvs/wtf? md5sum for all files...

Your package gets sources from git/svn/cvs/wtf?
I used this little trick to check the md5sum of all files and ensure a little more the package users
will download exactly what you downloaded when you created the package:

  echo "7ce3eabab979cd067b096e83280239ed  -" >"$srcdir"/md5sources
  find . -type f -print0 | sort -z | xargs -0 cat | md5sum --status -c "$srcdir"/md5sources || return 1

The md5 is calculated using the same command without -c before the whole building process just after downloading the sources.

I thought someone can find it useful or give a comment.

Shouldn't this go to AUR-related? Users of official repo packages should never have to access any of the git/svn/cvs sources anyway.
