A and B never "commit the same file" at the same time. They commit
entire *transactions* at the same time, which is the set of *all*
changes.
What you're talking about above is a different behavior -- it's the
"on the fly" out of dateness checking that happens as the transaction
is being constructed. As soon as a client tries to modify a file
which is out-of-date with respect to HEAD, the whole transaction is
aborted. This happens long before the 'final' commit of the
transaction.
