I'm not sure what you mean with "trivial cases". Most patches I've seen
to upstream involve different source files, with the exception of
Makefile{,.in,.am}, maybe. Even if a change involves several source
files and another the same, it's not a given that the changes necessary
overlap.
So I think it works except for complicated cases.
