None whatsoever. All files, including the contents of .svn directories,
are identical. Still, I get this after zip/unzip:

M unzipped\src\Table.cpp

I've tried different variations of flags to diff to make sure I'm not nuts.
And if I manually change a single character in some text-base file, it shows
up immediately with diff -r, so I'm fairly confident that there are no
differences between these directory trees. But svn diff says otherwise.
File system timestamps seem to be the only thing that have changed as
a result from the zip/unzip round trip.
