Subject: Use __cmp__ instead of __eq__ for Tree comparison.
X-Git-Tag: 1.0.0~59^2~70
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4cb0182da105d18f067c1a10482c89c966b02827;p=be.git

Use __cmp__ instead of __eq__ for Tree comparison.

This ensures that __ne__ will also work, and makes it easier to
subclass Tree.  For example, in the previous implementation you could
have
  >>> commA == commB
  False
  >>> cmp(commA, commB)
  0
if the comments had different ids, but equivalent content.

At the user-interface level, this removes some false "modified
comments" from `be diff`.
