Description

The JournalDiffLoader reads journal documents to identify paths that have been changed between two given revisions. It uses the JournalEntry to read those changes. The latter class always resolves linked invalidation journal entries. This is necessary for the background read to invalidate documents in the cache, but unnecessary for the JournalDiffLoader use case.

The invalidate parameter of JournalEntry.fillExternalChanges() should become optional.
