 As a feature request, security related. In the event of a compromised
 site, getting a fresh copy of your files is a good idea. A "Re-install
 Automatically" button already exists for WordPress core files on the
 update screen. (re-install your current version)

 I'm requesting the same for plugins and themes. The desire here is to
 delete all files, and get fresh files from the repos rather then doing so
 through svn or ftp which is rather complicated and/or labor intensive for
 typical users.

 It was suggested that I should use svn (and I shall) but a simpler process
 for users who can't handle that would make the WordPress world cleaner I
 think. (FeedBack please)
