Let's call him ET. Example: the user removes a file, typically using the command rmname, realizes his mistake and creates a new element with the same name -- we present you your Evil Twin. Versions of the older element still exist in the older versions of the directory. This creates much confusion when working with baselines before and after ET was created.
