These functions return the full oidcmp() value, but the callers really only care whether it is non-zero. We can use the more strict !oideq(), which a compiler may be able to optimize further. This does change the meaning of the return value subtly, but it's unlikely that anybody would try to use them for ordering. They're static-local in this file, and they already return other error values that would confuse an ordering (e.g., open() failure gives -1).
