The images in skins/common/images/icons don't match between the release tarball and the subversion repo.
Issue these two commands to see one difference. The PNG files in the tarball are one byte larger. What's going on?
tar tvfz /tmp/mediawiki-1.5.8.tar.gz | grep skins/common/images/icons/ svn ls http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/REL1_5_8/phase3/skins/common... -v
I have a recent installation of 1.5.8 from tarball and I'd like to change to using a subversion WC, and comparing my installation to the freshly checked-out WC shows these anomalies. Here's a complete list of the differences between the tarball and the WC:
