Do we have a duplicate check for upload?

I was just contemplating how to upload ca. ~10.000 *.tif files from AmArch archive folder. Several identical files (identically named files) exist. I.e. the same file exists in multiple folders. Do we check in uploadAsset for this case or would we upload the same file multiple times.

TODO:

• Check if that is the case
• Write such a check if necessary.

ATM xls.path_exists() has a deduplicating effect since it tests if filename with the same name (not fullpath) has already been entered in the Excel list. We could change that to receive a more exact representation of the files in the directory, but then we would need to check for duplications in the Excel list in the same way we do now, i.e. by identity with filename.

In the name of "explicit is better than implicit" that might be an improvement.
