Public bug reported:

This is actually an improvement request.

Currently in all versions, if a user wants to update or overwrite a file
with the same name, the system simply adds the file with a .1, .2 at the
end. So, if I have "file1.png" in a page and I want to update it, I have
to delete the old file, upload a new one and redo the link in my page.

Unless I'm doing something wrong, Mahara should have the same function
as Moodle in this case. The user is prompted if he/she wants to
overwrite/update or rename the file. That way, all links to this file
are updated in the pages.
