When a review request is created with commit history, it is likely that
there will be FileDiff
s in multiple commits that modify the same file.
For any FileDiff
in a commit, all FileDiff
s in previous commits are
known as "ancestor" FileDiff
s.
These ancestor FileDiff
s are now excluded from the diffviewer. This
removes the duplication of seeing the same file listed multiple times
with incremental changes. However, currently only the latest change for
that file is shown. True cumulative diffs are supported in /r/10130/.
