    Two FileDiffs are equivalent if and only if they have the same diff
    content (including headers). Instead of directly comparing the diff
    contents we can instead see that they point at the same
    RawFileDiffData object, as any two identical FileDiffs must have
    identical RawFileDiffData instances.

    Two DiffCommits are equivalent if and only if they have the same
    author, committer, and diff contents. That is, every FileDiff in
    DiffCommit A will have a corresponding equivalent Filediff in
    DiffCommit B if A and B are equivalent. We cache the result of this
    comparison in the extra_data of each DiffCommit to save future
    database queries.

    Ran unit tests.
