Description
Right now, it's possible to add a new version of any artifact as long as there is no existing artifact version at that Git commit.
For example, in https://github.com/iterative/example-gto:
```console
$ echo foo > foo
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "unrelated change"
[main 0b33552] unrelated change
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
create mode 100644 foo
$ gto register churn
Created git tag 'churn@v3.1.1' that registers a new version
$ git diff churn@v3.1.1 churn@v3.1.0 -- artifacts.yaml models/churn.pkl
```
v3.1.1 and v3.0.0 reference the same `models/churn.pkl` object, and none of the metadata or enrichment data has changed either, so it seems like there are two versions of the same artifact. Could gto prevent a new version in this scenario?
This could be used to:
* Check whether this artifact has already been versioned.
* Automate version bumping (bump every artifact that has changed and redeploy only those artifacts).
* Prevent unnecessary tags and reduce clutter.
