That's what it does already.

CVSup can already do md5 checksums, but I don't see how it would
help here.  Remember the problem we're trying to solve: find out
quickly whether a given server would regress any of the client's
files.

Yes, there's promise there.  But there are things such as tags that
don't have any history associated with them.  Also, not all files
are RCS files.
