Description

When selecting a range of commits where the first commit adds a file and
the later commit(s) change it, the is_new_file state was being
incorrectly computed as True. In the case where we have a base
filediff, we instead should be treating it as an existing file rather
than a new one.

Testing Done

Loaded a commit range that was previously triggering the bug (especially
noticeable with the way binary files were loaded). Saw that I was now
seeing it treated as an existing file rather than new.

Given the nature of the fix, we should have comprehensive unit testing for the various states.

I wish we had a better idea of what the more complex logic was working to do.

Looking at the history of the code, it looks like that was added during an intermediate version of the multi-commit implementation, where we were computing the cumulative diff ourselves based on all the individual commits (whereas now we have the client upload the cumulative diff separately).

Change Summary:

Add a unit test to cover the case of a new file that's not new once viewing a different commit range.
