 At present, If you attempt to install a plugin or theme, and the
 destination directory already exists (Say from a failed upgrade), Then the
 installer will bail.

 Patch adds a check to simply use the folder if it exists AND is empty.

 However, It still counts hidden files as being a item in a directory, so
 if a {{{.svn}}} folder or {{{.htaccess}}} file exists in the folder, the
 installer will bail. - Any thoughts on that? Should it continue if there
 are only hidden files? I'm thinking not at present.
