Restore Files Fails When There are 2 Folders with the Same Name

[Nat Katin-Borland]

This ticket is linked to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/karl3/+bug/913990

In a community there are 2 folders with the title 'Staff':

https://karl.soros.org/communities/justice-initiative-administration/files/staff-1/
https://karl.soros.org/communities/justice-initiative-administration/files/staff/ (currently has a General Error)

Items from one of the Staff folders is in the Trash folder and KARL doesn't seem to know which Staff folder to restore the items to, causing a General Error.

You can see the same behavior on Staging: https://karlstaging.gocept.com/branch1/osf/communities/justice-initiative-administration/files/staff/

Restoring files from the "Staff" folder in the Trash will ping pong the General Error from the Staff and Staff-1 folders in the Files section.

I can't recreate this problem on production, so it seems to be an issue with this community.

This is how KARL handles the scenario in production, which I think is correct:

1) Create folder "To Delete" and add stuff to it
2) Delete the "To Delete" folder
3) Create another folder called "To Delete"
4) Go to Trash and restore items form "To Delete"
5) KARL creates a folder called "To Delete-1" and restored items go into that folder.

Tested on branch1 still timeouts...branch2 does not have the community in question and it works fine.

Right, as mentioned in the email today, branch2 does have a copy of production data. So just make a community, do some versioning stuff, and make sure nothing is broken with all the various restore operations.
