Yes, including upload would be consistent IMHO

command line option handling shows that it has grown in a hotch-potch
way. I'd say a clean way would be:

tilesGen.pl [options]
By default it fetches jobs from the server, renders, and uploads to
wherever it is configured to do in a loop.

-xy <x> <y> [<z>]  render specific tileset and exit (no upload)
-u --upload        upload loop only (can be used with -s)
-s --single        perform action once and exit (no loop)
-v [n]             set verbosity (to <n>)
-h --help          print help and exit

This is really all that is needed.
