"Someone edited the file the same time you did" - well, no

Summary

I have forked of F-Droid metadata years ago. I had opened another issue where the file was not present: #354031 (closed) This might be an update to that.

Steps to reproduce

I go to the contributing file and edit it: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/update/master/CONTRIBUTING.md Then, when I click commit - it does not open a PR as promised but shows this text to me:

Someone edited the file the same time you did. Please check out the file and make sure your changes will not unintentionally remove theirs.

I do it again and it happens again.
