No; the file in the repository will be called something like file_name.dir.d.

- every file ends in .d and .i 
- every directory ends in .dir 
- there isn't any other object

So there is no possibility of conflicts. 

Also you can have a file, remove it, then create a
directory with the same name without losing the history ( even tough mercurial isn't able
to manage those histories, because the two object have the same key )
