Review Board 1.7 introduced deduping of new diffs, but older diffs remained duplicated in the database. This would add up, particularly when using parent diffs or when uploading multiple revisions of diffs containing many files unchanged between revisions. This introduces a condensediffs command that performs the deduping logic for all older diffs. This operation is safe to perform while the database is running, and should be safe to terminate if needed. The actual logic for all this is in the new FileDiffManager. Upon completion, the command will display the amount of bytes saved as a before/after comparison and as a percentage of reduction. rb-site upgrade will recommend that users run this if they have any unmigrated data as well. This will be backported to 1.7.x, after the migrate-on-access code is backported.
