Can we use a flag on the server side e.g. in the index page, so
nobody is able to upload files if we use automated tools
for the upload?

Or can we use a different url which we can't upload after
the freeze has be done. Like we do in subversion at least in some
svn clients there will be a not if you try to commit to a url which
contains the /tag/ part.

Do you think the directory should be a subversion tag
which makes it reproducable?
