Time Machine is much smarter than that. It will not restore anything  
newer than what it has in it's database. Moreover, even if it did, if  
it's up-to-date, it won't make a difference, because it's just  
replacing one file with the duplicate.

Seriously...you're overthinking the problem...it's a LOT simpler than  
you think it is.
