As each commit is an atomic action, this cannot happen. There is no case in wich two users could possibly commit the same file at the same time - one commit will be rejected. So there *should* be no conflicts.
However, I'm not shure what happens if a large commit modifies file a and while the post-commit-script still exports the files (and has not yet reached file a), another commit modifies the same file. This should be a pretty rare case, but is there enough time for a race condition?
