What are the properties of the File ID in API v2?

Does the File ID change when any byte of the file changes? Or would that be a different revision of the same file? What events cause a new File ID to be issued?

Hi Aldo, file IDs aren't really exposed to users anywhere. They're intended as an aid for developers in the implementation of apps.
