        # Suppose we have an MR with source branch `feature` and target branch `master`.
        # When the MR was created, the head of `master` was commit A, and the
        # head of `feature` was commit B, resulting in the original diff A->B.
        # Since creation, `master` was updated to C.
        # Now `feature` is being updated to D, and the newly generated MR diff is C->D.
        # It is possible that C and D are direct decendants of A and B respectively,
        # but this isn't necessarily the case as rebases and merges come into play.
        #
        # Suppose we have a diff note on the original diff A->B. Now that the MR
        # is updated, we need to find out what line in C->D corresponds to the
        # line the note was originally created on, so that we can update the diff note's
        # records and continue to display it in the right place in the diffs.
        # If we cannot find this line in the new diff, this means the diff note is now
        # outdated, and we will display that fact to the user.
        #
        # In the new diff, the file the diff note was originally created on may
        # have been renamed, deleted or even created, if the file existed in A and B,
        # but was removed in C, and restored in D.
        #
        # Every diff note stores a Position object that defines a specific location,
        # identified by paths and line numbers, within a specific diff, identified
        # by start, head and base commit ids.
        #
        # For diff notes for diff A->B, the position looks like this:
        # Position
        #   start_sha - ID of commit A
        #   head_sha - ID of commit B
        #   base_sha - ID of base commit of A and B
        #   old_path - path as of A (nil if file was newly created)
        #   new_path - path as of B (nil if file was deleted)
        #   old_line - line number as of A (nil if file was newly created)
        #   new_line - line number as of B (nil if file was deleted)
        #
        # We can easily update `start_sha` and `head_sha` to hold the IDs of
        # commits C and D, and can trivially determine `base_sha` based on those,
        # but need to find the paths and line numbers as of C and D.
        #
        # If the file was unchanged or newly created in A->B, the path as of D can be found
        # by generating diff B->D ("head to head"), finding the diff file with
        # `diff_file.old_path == position.new_path`, and taking `diff_file.new_path`.
        # The path as of C can be found by taking diff C->D, finding the diff file
        # with that same `new_path` and taking `diff_file.old_path`.
        # The line number as of D can be found by using the LineMapper on diff B->D
        # and providing the line number as of B.
        # The line number as of C can be found by using the LineMapper on diff C->D
        # and providing the line number as of D.
        #
        # If the file was deleted in A->B, the path as of C can be found
        # by generating diff A->C ("base to base"), finding the diff file with
        # `diff_file.old_path == position.old_path`, and taking `diff_file.new_path`.
        # The path as of D can be found by taking diff C->D, finding the diff file
        # with `old_path` set to that `diff_file.new_path` and taking `diff_file.new_path`.
        # The line number as of C can be found by using the LineMapper on diff A->C
        # and providing the line number as of A.
        # The line number as of D can be found by using the LineMapper on diff C->D
        # and providing the line number as of C.
