Due to popular demand (and my general dislike of interaction between image changes and caching, plus a rash of vandalism of a certain type) I've added two new permission keys to limit uploads that overwrite existing images.
Disabling the 'reupload' right will prevent any upload of a file which already is present, either locally or on the shared repository (Commons).
Disabling the 'reupload-shared' right will prevent overwrites of images which are present on the shared repository but _not_ on the local wiki. (A pre-existing local image overrides the Commons image.)
Just so I understand this right --
If an image exists in BOTH locations, then I can overwrite it freely, but if someone then deletes the LOCAL one, then suddenly everyone loses the right to upload that image because the shared one is now used?
It seems a bit weird, but it also makes sense. :)
