Warn user that they are working with one or more file name(s) that already exist(s) on Wikimedia Commons

File names on Wikimedia Commons must be unique (two files can't have the same name).
The default Wikimedia Commons UploadWizard warns the user when they are naming a file the same as one that already exists.
It would be great if OpenRefine also warns uploaders of new Commons files if this happens. I can imagine this will be part of the 'Issues' tab when creating a schema for uploading files to Commons, see #22
Assigning this to myself so I can filter for it :-) Also related to #33.
Doing some end-of-project cleanup. I think we never got around to doing this one, although it would be useful. @lozanaross I feel inclined to unassign this issue from you and generalize its description so that someone else can get to it at a later point (both design and development-wise). Agreed?
It's probably also relevant for Wikibase uploads, as duplicate file names are not allowed there either?
Yes, all fine to generalize issue. I have some ideas related to upload process and error logging that I'll try to do a final design on as part of the report wrap-up of the final user testing sessions, but that won't be something necessary to be built or finalized in the short term.
