Looking at orig-files-index and mod-files-index (and respective -dirs-)
in a changeset, that adds a file, I only see 2 columns: the full name
and id of the file. Since there is no other ID and since the dirs inices
are empty (so the ids can't be infered from there), I see no way to find
the ids, which is how I came to the above conclusion. Perhaps I am missing
something.
