Added two checks when loading a file to determine if two cells are

the same:  (1) If the inodes of the filename are the same, then the
cells are the same.  This avoids treating symbolic links as
different paths with different files;  (2) If both layouts are in
git repositories and the git repository commit hashes are the same,
then the cells are considered to be the same.  This allows projects
to be cloned into other projects as dependencies and used in
multiple places without magic treating them as different layouts.
