This function is only used in replacements application phase, and I think this 
is the most easiest if not the best way to ensure that two sets of replacements 
for the same file are applied without needing to handle dots and 
relative/absolute paths.

For distributed replacements generation, I think it makes more sense to 
duplications on the replacements application phase since this needs to be done 
when combining all replacements anyway.

It might make more sense to make this function local in 
tooling/Refactoring.cpp. But in that case, I can't unit test it :(
