No, you'll be rejected because your WC is out of date. It's an
important difference. The conflict, if one exists, will become
apparent when you update your WC to retrieve his changes.

Move your changes to another location
Update your WC
Copy your version over the version in your WC
Commit

Alternately, you could do a reverse merge on the file to undo his
changes, then commit your latest version.
