################################################################################
HISTORY
################################################################################
The Upload Replace grew out of a need of mine to have bookmarkable files on a
website I was running.  The default behavior of filefield CCK is to rename new
files to <filename>_0.<ext> if that file name is in use.

In my case I needed the newest version of the file to be called <filename>.<ext>
so that my users can bookmark the file and always get the most recent version
when they use their bookmarks.

As well, this needed to work with node revisions so if a incorrect file was
uploaded an administrator could revert to the correct version and the filename
would be updated.
