Existing releases are no longer updated

[debdutdeb]

I currently use a matrix to generate jobs, each has the same payload just different file when creating a release.

https://github.com/debdutdeb/novm/blob/cf13d8741fee6959d72dd8bae05cdb5750ca30e9/.github/workflows/release.yaml#L20-L44

This used to just update the existing release with the new files (adding one by one as they are built), noticed recently, that isn't the case anymore. I've been getting Validation Failed: {"resource":"Release","code":"already_exists","field":"tag_name"}

Looking at the changes, I think the problem lies in #386 although don't know exactly what, likely octokit is adding something more to the request causing this to fail. Or more likely doing some pre-flight checks like "does the tag exist?".

Trying the commit right before this one, seems to have helped my workflow to work again.

We're also running into this issue after upgrading to v2.

We have the same issue. Both v1 and v2 do not work anymore.
