The important point there is:
"For security reasons you will never be able to upload a file with
identical name again."
But the only "file" you ever upload is the tarball. (You can upload
other files, but a "distribution" (which is what matters) is a
tarball.) So, you upload Foo-v0.0.1.tar.gz instead of Foo.tar.gz, then
you can supersede it with Foo-v0.0.2.tar.gz, etc. as the code changes.
