Thanks.

Yes, you seem to have uploaded:

mercurial-3.7.3.tar.gz       - upstream tar file
mercurial-3.7.3-1.tar.xz     - cygwin binary package
mercurial-3.7.3-1-src.tar.xz - cygwin source package containing the 
upstream tar file and build script

The behaviour of upset was to accept mercurial-3.7.3.tar.gz as a binary 
package file, fortunately of a version preceding 3.7.3-1.

This was never correct, so it's now reported as an error.

I have removed the upstream tar files to allow the upload to proceed.
