That's the thing, they can't be different -- the graph shows it was a
"copy", which guarantees that they're identical.  The
metadata tracks this and the integration engine takes it into account, so even
without looking at the file contents, it knows those revisions are the same and
no integration is required.  Diffing this and showing that they're
identical confirms it, but you should always be able to assume that if one
revision is a "copy into" another, the two are identical (at least in
terms of raw content -- if filetypes differ or if there are evil +k keywords in
there those are extra wrinkles that might show up in your diff, but for
practical purposes integrate is still going to consider those files
"identical" since that was the recorded intent of the previous
integrate).
