But I might have manually changed those tokens, or I might have done it
with a replace operation. Just looking at the diffs, those two cases
would look identical and be indistinguishable. The only way to know
whether or not a darcs replace was done was to look at the patch metadata.
Pop quiz:
Here is revision 1 of my file:

Now, did I do that with a darcs replace, or just by typing?
