This works with gnucash XML files as long as the details in the XML file
are written in a stable order. Diffs are incredibly difficult to read when
the major changes are a re-ordering of items which the reading software
doesn't care about the order. I'm fairly sure that GnuCash doesn't
spuriously reorder stuff, but I've worked with other systems that do.
