Just like the current SVN case, we don't want to *just* unpack the tarball. If 
that's all that the user has to do, that means the user has just downloaded 
way more than was necessary -- about 100% more with SVN or something similar 
with Git.

After unpacking, there has to be some operation to restore the checkout from 
the repository data.
