I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "has to be created".

I don't see how this function can guarantee to return a path to a pristine
version of the file if it is possible for a file not to have a text-base.
Therefore I assume it returns an error in that case. If a caller wants to take
special action in that case, rather than just aborting, the caller needs to
know what error will be returned and therefore this interface needs to document it.
