Overridden? what does that mean?

Very simple. Suppose an application wants to create a file called 
myfile.txt, what will Samba do?

1. Does myfile.txt exist?
2. If yes, delete myfile.txt
3. create myfile.txt

The only thing you have to do in the Samba code is to remove 1. and 2. 
and you will have file versions
