Duplicate entries

Right now it is easy to create duplicate entries in a series, that is one person, or sail number can appear more than once. This came up when entering a fairly large field of Optimus sailors into a regional event. There was confusion when several of them switched from one fleet to another and new data was entered. How about a warning for a duplicate entry--nice when more then one person enters data for a large field of entries.

Hi Robb,

A duplicate warning is a good idea, but it's complicated by having to tell
Sailwabe what fields to check, for example sail numbers are often duplicated
in a handicap fleet and that's OK, but if it was a onedesign fleet - it'd be
a warning...

I've added it to the dev plan.

Thanks.
