Description libing wang CLA 2012-04-19 11:08:02 EDT 
To render the contents of a compare widget, we always call widget.startup() function after it is instantiated.
We should either follow a widget.startup.then() pattern or just pass a callback in the startup function.
An example comes from the git commit page.
When there are multiple files modified in a commit, we want to create compare widgets after the previous one is completely loaded. By doing that, we are not leaving a number of blank widgets and waiting there for server response.

Susan, Szymon, Gosia and I talked about this in the UI call yestoday.
I recalled that we kind of agreed that all the multiple section renderings that need server responses should follow the same pattern. Git repo page is already doing this? I don't remember how Szymon talked about this.
