Just as an aside, I think it's actually a bad idea to update in place.
Much better to just add new webrevs.

Why? Well, the mail lists provide an audit of the review process for a
given change. Webrevs are the data on which those reviews are based. So,
removing them (by overwriting) makes it harder to understand why a
specific choice was made. This may not matter most of the time but when
a fix gets revoked thanks, say, to a regression of some sort it's
important to be able to go back and re-read that audit trail.
