You actually bring up a potentially better solution. Make the separator
' // ' Then things look like
landing/on/the moon.txt // file-id:the moon.txt-12389127-123871223784 //
text-id:the moon.txt-123123123

You can also detect files that end in a space, because they will have
too many spaces.
So you would have:

myfile  // file-id:myfile -1231231235-134134 // text-id:myfile
-12312312-123123

And parsing becomes a simple:
parts = txt.split(' // ')

I would worry about using '/' without an opening space because of issues
with terminating directories with a slash.

I don't think this is terrible, but I don't know how this would work
with something like a rename, where you would prefer to have something
like: "old_name => new_name"
but "old_name // new_name" isn't terrible.
