Hello everybody!

I am trying to evaluate the feasibility of creating a FileBackend [1] that supports having multiple files with the same filename in different subfolders. On the database such a file could be saved with slashes in its name (e.g image.img_name = Foo/bar/Some.pdf and image.img_name = Baz/Some.pdf) as a unique identifier and it also could be linked in wikitext (e.g [[Media:Baz/Some.pdf]]) in this way. But in the servers file system it would be saved to something like "<mediawiki>/images/baz/5/5f/ Some.pdf". Does anybody know if this is possible with MediaWikis FileBackend? Are there any issues that I should be aware of?
