[OH-Dev] [issue818] bug in diff'ing entire directories

[fstopzero]

New submission from fstopzero <beckastar at gmail.com>:

This exercise:
http://openhatch.org/missions/diffpatch/recursive_diff

Apparently the slight difference in the Linux/ Windows command line and the Mac's is significant 
enough to bring the student's progress to a screeching halt here.  There were a couple of problems:

1) Once the file is uploaded, the docs say to write in the following command:
tar zxvf recipes.tar.gz

On a Mac, this creates an empty directory. This is what actually worked:

tar -xvf recipes.tar.gz


2) In the "High" hint tab, there needs to be a different command line for mac. 'wget' and 'get' don't 
work in bash.
