No. This is a classic problem with SCM systems: they do not
cope well with parallel changes made outside of the visibility of the
system. There's just no way for the system
to know that the files you added, and the files that someone else added
simultaneously under the same name are, in fact,
the same artifacts, just transferred using an out-of-band
mechanism.
