Minor false positive warning for uvx reinstall #6576

@bluss

Description

@bluss

Original command:

uvx --reinstall --with dist/*.whl pytest

Modified command (to try to avoid the warning):

uvx --reinstall-package my-package-name --with dist/*.whl pytest     

Both have the following warning. Especially in the second modified case, this is a false positive? Because the reinstall is wanted for the extra dependency added with --with.

warning: Tools cannot be reinstalled via `uvx`; use `uv tool upgrade --reinstall`
to reinstall all installed tools, or `uvx package@latest` to run the latest
version of a tool

The command is a recipe for running tests vs the freshly built wheel -- from the project directory. Reinstall to ensure the new wheel is used even if version etc did not change.
Using uv 0.3.3.
