gridfs

I am dealing with Mongoid, carrierwave and gridFS to store my uploads.

For example, I have a model Article, containing a file upload(a picture).

class Article
  include Mongoid::Document
  field :title, :type => String
  field :content, :type => String
  mount_uploader :asset, AssetUploader
end

But I would like to only store the file once, in the case where I'll upload many times the same file for differents articles.

I saw GridFS has a MD5 checksum.

What would be the best way to prevent duplication of identicals files ?

Thanks
