Bug Description
Two iPhones, A & B, both named "Schleprock's iPhone" connect to u1 using the same account.
both have autoupload set to on.
phone A uploads 10 images, using names "IMG_0001.JPG" and so on.
phone B connects and checks for images it needs to upload. It only uses filenames, so it will skip the first 10 images as they will have the same names as phone A's first images.
repeat.
Although two concurrently-used iphones is not common, this is also possible if an iPhone is replaced, whether stolen or not. All it takes is the same device name, which can be set by the user.
