Comment:
In the `FileSystemStorage` case, `MEDIA_ROOT` and `STATIC_ROOT` cannot be
the same, so you aren't likely to run into this issue. I guess django-
storage works a bit differently. But yes, it's not intended that you
storage media files and static files in the same location. In fact,
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#media-url we
document] "MEDIA_URL and STATIC_URL must have different values." If you'd
like to write a patch, I'll be happy to review and commit it.
