When a default value for a document is different from the value in the database, the content history detects this as a change. But Doctrine doesn't write the change to the database.
This means it keeps generating records in the content history.
Example 1: phone number in database doesn't have a type
Example 2: reference has wrong db (it would be better to turn storage of $db off, this will be the default in Doctrine ODM 2, http://docs.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-mongodb-odm/en/latest/reference/reference-mapping.html)
Note: also when the changeset is empty a record is sometimes written to the content history.
$db
ignore in ArrayComparer
Empty values
Values that are not set, are set with "null", so this problem is not present for the first level. This does however not work for values with multiple levels, so this check should be recursive.
