FileUtils.contentEquals returns true for equal file names, but file is actually 
not existing

                 Key: IO-254
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-254
             Project: Commons IO
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: windows and linux
            Reporter: Dmitry Kan
            Priority: Trivial


It is said in the documentation, that:

"This method checks to see if the two files are different lengths or if they 
point to the same file, before resorting to byte-by-byte comparison of the 
contents. "

Does it make sense to return true when the file does not exist even if 
comparison of a file to itself was attempted?
