Except that this is a very different use-case than what you originally
presented. Adding a new directory with the same name (but not the same
functionality) is an even worse workflow error, only on User A's part this time.

User A should have deleted the directory and informed all users with WC's to
update, then add the new directory and again alerted the other programmers.
Reusing the directory name is bad enough, but expecting the VCS program to
somehow know this is not the same code is even worse!
