Imagine a process which resulted in a directory tree which was the same 
as extracting from a tar.gz file. Using such a process, the resulting 
directory tree is the same, and all files in that tree are the same, yet 
it did not come from expanding a tar.gz file.



This is such a process:



svn co https://kicad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kicad/tags/kicad-2008-07-15
svn co 
https://kicad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kicad/tags/kicad-doc-2008-07-15


So I'd like to repeat my original question, see above.
