Perhaps post-checkout hook to notice missing checksum files and recompute them would work, but this is clearly outside of what clean/smudge wants to do and what they were invented for (i.e. the contents of the file in the working tree itself need to be adjusted in the working tree and in the repository, hence there is a filter in each direction). As the mechanism being "filter", i.e. a bytestream is converted into another bytestream, it is not even designed to muck with other things on the filesystem.
