That's arguable. If you apply a token replace to a file that doesn't
contain the replaced token, and later add that token to the file, you
cannot commute those patches. The state of the file has changed, even
though the content has not.

If the file isn't recorded, you're probably mixing changesets. I want
to know about that; more, I want to be forced to think about it.
