#3031: gitlab change_status webhook doesn't properly detect changes

 GitLab only sends out commit information for objects new to the repository
 & branch.  New branches do not contain commits.
 Resetting the branch to a different point does not contain commits.

 For example:
 {{{
     git reset --hard HEAD^
     git push origin
 }}}
 Buildbot reports no new changes even though gitlab said there was a
 different before & after.
 {{{
     git push origin HEAD:some_branch
     git push origin HEAD:some_other_branch
 }}}
 Buildbot reports no new changes even though gitlab said there was a
 different before & after.

 The point is that there should be a change emitted even if there are no
 "new" commits
