Of course not, you must have some way to differentiate between them, filename suffix (_edit / _done ), or different folders, etc.
So what's the difference between that and calibre then using either more than one record to store the different editions, or multiple libraries (orig/edit/done).

If I add a new book, with the same metadata and same extension to Calibre, it will think I want to overwrite an existing book. So, you'd have to make a new book, with different metadata (title + author) while it's actually the same, simply to have more than one copy available.
With folders, you can add as many books to the same folder, simply by making subfolders (those subfolders have a relation with their parent folder). You could do something like that with Calibre by using a custom column of the series type, but it's still less elegant, I think.
