Description

A dataset submitted to PhysioNet appears to unintentionally include duplicate files:
https://physionet.org/content/cebsdb/1.0.0/

e.g. search for "3e0ccc9e8960427710b47cfbd2531a20fdb73c247bc9f21795e31fecf7069c8d" in https://physionet.org/content/cebsdb/1.0.0/SHA256SUMS.txt

It might be worth adding a duplicate-file detector to the validator.

Research direction

Start by locating the validator and reviewing how it processes submitted dataset files and SHA256SUMS.txt. Use the PhysioNet CEBSDB example and the repeated hash 3e0ccc9e8960427710b47cfbd2531a20fdb73c247bc9f21795e31fecf7069c8d as the reference case. Done means the validator detects duplicate files in a dataset submission.
