GWToolset ignores the SHA-1 duplication warning. as far as i remember, the intent is to make sure the source of the mediafile and metadata is from the GLAM.
with kind regards, dan

I have had many issues around this in the past. If the images are the
same in quality/resolution then avoid duplicating what is currently on Commons. However if your versions are, in your view, better quality then there is no problem uploading them as they are not true duplicates. Digitally identical duplicates should be rejected automatically at upload as the files have matching SHA-1 checks.
Thats from normal upload. Gwtoolset may be different. Anyways they can be dealt with after the fact too if they are exactly identical as its easy to detect later.
Just to clarify, does the GWT ignore the SHA-1 based duplicate warning and upload the digitally identical duplicate as a new file?
If it does, rather than skipping it or giving a warning, then this seems like a bug.
