I don't think it's an MCD at all, but just an empty MCZ.  That's why it's
showing everything different.

When a version is committed, the .mcz file is first created on your local
computer, and then uploaded to the server.  The server just saves straight
to the filesystem, verbatim, never unpacking it.  What's on the server is
exactly what's on the uploader's computer.

Given that the .mcz is a valid zip, I don't think there was a network
glitch.  I think something happened on Eliot's computer when he saved that
caused Compiler-eem.479.mcz to be saved as an empty mcz, which it then
uploaded to the server.

I'm satisfied this case is cracked.  Is Inbox diffing working for
everything else?

Thanks, that's exactly the right action.  I would've done it, but wanted to
be conservative about deleting someone else's file since it's available in
the interface.

So now I wonder if diffing Christoph's version in the image is now working
better?

Best,
