If someone can do this in a way that is=20
*** Careful ***
i.e. they:
* verify that they are not committing random other changes together
with the sha checksum
* deal with the fact that 'make checksum' on their machine may not add
checksums for all of the files listed in distinfo (and in such a case
will actually remove them, breaking the port for others)
then it would be better to do them in batches instead of getting
committers to deal with hundreds of individual PRs.
