Downstream Updates #20

Open Pewpewarrows opened 13 years ago

After a project is being built from a Prometheus template (either still in the development process, or post-launch), what happens when the template it was created from gets updated with the latest and greatest changes?

This ties closely to the tracking Upstream projects issue, where traditionally it would mean a manual diff and combing through features to cherry-pick. This gets tedious for even one project, I can't imagine doing it to dozens. In the past I've had several projects, each in disarray with a different stage of progress in updating to my latest informal boilerplate.

Can we automate this somehow? Detect backwards-incompatibilities and customizations that wouldn't be kosher with the new version? That would be quite awesome.
