Subject: Ignore null changes
Currently, OpenGuides will faithfully create a new version of a page if you ask it to, even when the contents and metadata are identical. If both content and metadata are identical to the previous version, don't save the change or up the version number. The existing redirect logic will take the user back to the page - unaltered. The present situation leads to RecentChanges getting polluted, both with automatic robot requests, and newbie edits.

We already have a checksum mechanism, this would seem to be a bug in that it is not being called.
