We're talking about interoperating with a Git repository here, right?
 Even if we got the metadata in there, doesn't Git have to understand
a replace patch for things to work out?

3 repos.
- AA has a Git repo.
- BB has a Git repo
- CC has a Darcs repo

0. All three are in sync to begin with.

1. CC creates a token-replace patch, sends the changes in normal hunk
format to AA.

2. BB makes changes, sends a normal hunk patch to AA and CC.  AA will
apply the hunk normally.  For CC the token replace might apply here
and so the result could be different.

Isn't this a potential problem?  Or am I missing something?
