It's the 0.7 release rather than svn,

lrwxrwxrwx  1 markMLl markMLl       9 Jan 12 16:49 fpgui -> fpgui-0.7
drwxr-xr-x 14 markMLl markMLl    4096 Aug  2 14:16 fpgui-0.7
-rw-r--r--  1 markMLl markMLl 3308790 Jan 12 16:49 fpgui-0.7.tar.gz

cksum: fpgui: Is a directory
cksum: fpgui-0.7: Is a directory
592533306 3308790 fpgui-0.7.tar.gz

Note the symlink there hence paths like 
/usr/local/share/fpgui/fpgui/src/corelib
