CIFSContentComparator (Alfresco Repository 7.52-userAuth API)

- org.alfresco.filesys.repo.CIFSContentComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

ContentComparator
```
public class CIFSContentComparator
extends Object
implements ContentComparator
```
Compares content for to see if content is equal.
Most mimetypes can simply be binary compared but for some mimetypes there may be trivial differences so a binary compare is not sufficient.
In particular MS Project and MS Excel write to header fields without changing content.
