Patch objects are created and uploaded to the database and then later downloaded for comparison. Does it make sense to use these objects for comparison rather than just doing a direct comparison from the commit objects available locally?
One reason we may still want to do this is for cases where we aren't pulling all of the repo history. However, what is pulled from the database is based on the result of the missing cherries, so it's all already available locally
