Right, so the problem is twofold:
1) Incorrect error message (BUG)
2) Does not work on directories (MISSING FEATURE)

I say #2 is a missing feature because surely it could (should?) be a
recursive operation just like any other unix command.

In the end I went with using find/xargs, but now I have 544 patches to
record.  I was hoping for just 3 (1 for each token I replaced).
