I'm pretty sure they're not, but see below.

It should be.
I took a look at the TeXlive repository, specifically at that file. In
both cases, wheather the working copy revision (svn update -r X) is
45627 or 45643, that file's last changed revision should be 44192.
Here's the proof:
$ svn info --show-item=last-changed-revision
svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Master/tlpkg/tlpsrc/collection-langgreek.tlpsrc
44192
$ svn info --show-item=last-changed-revision
svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Master/tlpkg/tlpsrc/collection-langgreek.tlpsrc@45627
44192

That depends on what you did. :)
For example, what does `svnversion` say about your working copy?
Compared to the master?
Unless this is a strange artefact of git-svn, I'd recommend an "svn
update" in your working copy ("your checkout," as you call it) and let's
see what happens.
