This is a limit of the file system. When google-docs-fs sees two files with the 
same "path" (i.e. with the same folder tag and the same name), it only reads 
the first one. File systems identify files by their fully-qualified path, so it 
was either this way, or use Google Docs's identifier which would be completely 
unintelligible.

My recommended solution is to either use files with different names, or put 
them in different folders.

Hope that helps,
Scott W

When there are multiple files with the same name, I think it would be nice to 
put the last modified/uploaded file in the local listing directory.
I think it could be technically possible with gdocs api and fuse.

I use google doc to backup my documents, so I have a lot of documents with the 
same name in the same directory, and if I want to open an old version of my 
document i just have to choose it by the upload date (like subversion but in a 
easiest way).
If I can access to my last file it would be really nice, and I can use google 
doc web for accessing the older versions (which can't be done with the 
filesystem as you explained).

I'm experiencing some issues by having different files with the same name that 
aren't grouped in the same history list.
Do you believe that google will fix this issue sometime soon?
