What I do is put the files in place and get the md5sums.  Then I hard code 
those 
sums and the other data (size, etc) into the release version (not svn).   If 
you 
are using the Makefile, then it needs to be changed to remove the  line:

$(Q)./aux-file-data.sh $(RENDERTMP)/lfs-full.xml

If you look in my home directory, you will see cutsom render scripts for each 
old release version.
