[seqfan] Re: Help updating a b-file

[Charles Greathouse]

Yes, the versioning I mentioned applies only to b-files. Since we allow
multiple attachments of various sorts the server has no way to know that a
new upload is intended to replace an existing file rather than live
alongside it. As we demand unicity in our b-files we can version them.
