yaml

I am going through the various Google AppEngine tutorials sometimes, and I just noticed something odd in a StackOverflow question about favicon.ico - specifically this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/887328/favicon-ico-not-found-error-in-app-engine

- url: /favicon.ico
static_files: media/img/favicon.ico
upload: media/img/favicon.ico

- url: /robots.txt
static_files: media/robots.txt
upload: media/robots.txt

All of the posters included an "upload:" line in their app.yaml definitions The application appears to work the same with or without the upload: line, and I have not seen any mention of it in the official documentation.

Where is it used, or what difference does it make if this line is included or not?
