No, but if you have a list of nightly builds, e.g.
    http://darcs.haskell.org/ghcBuilder/builders/pgj2/
then you can get the fingerprint for that night's build, e.g.
    http://darcs.haskell.org/ghcBuilder/builders/pgj2/607/4.html
and use that to reconstruct the tree using
    utils/fingerprint/fingerprint.py


Thanks
