designed.

If both of these files are committed to an FSFS or FSX repository, content

- This causes problems when Subversion eventually uses the MD5 checksum of
- the content which was not in fact stored. For example, updates and commits
- may fail with a checksum error.

De-duplication only takes place when representation sharing is enabled.
