If the repository you're trying to save the package to (e.g. 
package-cache, Inbox) doen't containt the ancestor of the given package, 
then it will show more methods as changed. The worst case is when the 
repository doesn't contain the package at all, so you'll see that all 
methods have changed. In this case check the changes to the Trunk 
repository, which (besides showing you the correct changes) will fetch 
the ancestors of the package and save it to the package-cache. Then save 
your package to the package-cache (it will show the correct changes in 
the save dialog) and copy the saved version from the package-cache to 
the repository you wanted to save it originally.
