File Import
#8
1) If the file names match, then it compares the content of the files. If those match, then it is considered a duplicate file and ignored. If they are different, then a file conflict dialog is displayed
2) It creates an entirely new song from the duplicate file, meaning you will now have two separate songs both using the same file

Batch Import
1) They are ignored
2) The existing song in the library will be updated to use the new version of the file (it will be copied into the storage location and will overwrite the existing file)
3) The file is ignored
4) A file conflict dialog is displayed so you can choose how to handle the conflict
5) The file is ignored
6) The existing song in the library is updated (same as #2)

If both options are unchecked, if an identical file is imported, a new song will be created using the file, meaning you will have multiple songs in the library using the same file. If both options are unchecked and a file with differences is imported, a conflict dialog is displayed to decide how to handle conflict.

So the "Update existing song" option is really just an option to prevent a choice from being made on the conflict dialog. It just chooses to update existing songs when that scenario occurs. So if you unchecked that option and picked the option on each conflict dialog to update the existing song, that would have the same effect.
