How does this work if two (or more) engineers touch the same file at the same time?

EG: If two engineers have two different PRs open modifying `index.html`, how does that go to canary?

I think this is answered by Seb, in the "Contributing to Fiber" issue in the React Repo: https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/7942#issuecomment-2...
