Whenever we run apollo type-generation, it writes every file that it finds regardless of the content of it.
In our case, we have project with over 1200 generated files, so running type-generation causes a few issues with type-checkers, or whenever we change a branch.
PR fixes part of the issues by doing a naive content-check before writing the files. Maybe this can be changed eventually to a content-hashing approach, but felt a bit out of scope for my fix.
