Hi Kjell,

Looking a bit closer, I realised that the git sources are probably "more 
up to date", which seems more likely.  Anyway, here's what I found:-

1)  Firstly:-
        glibmm/base64.cc
        glibmm/base64.h

The above files appear in Git but not in the tarball (maybe they got 
added recently?)

2)  Secondly, these files have different sizes, even though Git and the 
tarball were both at revision 2.36.2:-

        gio/giomm.h (158 lines in the tarball / 151 lines in Git)

        glib/glibmm.h (147 lines in the tarball / 150 lines in Git)

        glib/glibmm/class.cc (152 lines in the tarball / 173 lines in Git)
        glib/glibmm/class.h (84 lines in the tarball / 94 lines in Git)
        glib/glibmm/interface.cc (95 lines in the tarball / 133 lines 
in Git)
        glib/glibmm/interface.h (85 lines in the tarball / 89 lines in Git)
        glib/glibmm/main.cc (1165 lines in the tarball / 1252 lines in Git)
        glib/glibmm/main.h (845 lines in the tarball / 877 lines in Git)
        glib/glibmm/property.cc (201 lines in the tarball / 250 lines 
in Git)

        tools/extra_defs_gen/generate_defs_gio.cc (154 lines in the 
tarball / 155 lines in Git)
