So you're copying over all the files that are currently in CVS?  Does
this mean that the few files that are just "hanging" out there (that are
not in CVS but are still up on the site) will be removed?  (This would
be a good thing)

Does this mean that we should be generating the md5 files on our own?
Why is this no longer being done automatically?  And, what files need to
have the md5 info generated for them (perhaps that's a question better
directed at maven people)?

Finally, why update periodically (and deal with the hassle of having
cron jobs) instead of, say, using an svn post-commit hook so that the
update happens in real time?
