I’m interested in diving into the codebase of pijul, but my first hurdle is that running `cargo test` on a fresh clone of [the pijul repo](https://nest.pijul.com/pijul/pijul) I see a compile error in `libpijul/src/tests/diff.rs`, and when I fixed it myself, I get many failed tests.

When I try to run the tests in [sanakirja](https://nest.pijul.com/pijul/sanakirja), also from a fresh clone, I get a compile error and can see conflict markers in `sanakirja/src/tests.rs`. Seems like an unresolved conflict?

Are these old tests that just haven’t been updated in a while? I ask because tests are usually how I learn a new codebase, so if I can’t get these running properly, learning it will be much more difficult.
