Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Just in case you are interested in knowing how official Fedora repos
 handle that issue:
 Fedora repos work around that problem with HTTPS. They ship the hashes of
 repomd.xml via HTTPS and download it over HTTP without actually using
 repo_gpgcheck at all. So I would suggest that you replace "http" with
 "https" on
 https://www.torproject.org/docs/rpms.html.en

 thanks!
