    If compare is a commit, checks if the file has changed since given commit, compared to the most recent commit
    of the repository
    For a list of commits, checks the same, but for all of these commits. In particular, only returns true if the file
    is the same in all of the specified commits (and in the most recent of the repository)

    If compare is None, compares the file against the corking tree, i.e. if the file has been modified since the last
    commit on the repo. This also involves staged files, i.e. modified and staged files will be considered as
    'not recent' since changes are not committed
