Comment (by pento):

 Upon reflection, attachment:18201.diff was completely wrong, and totally
 missed the point.

 So, let's try this again with attachment:18201.2.diff.

 This one does the following:
 * Checks the state of the current WP install, to decide if it can get away
 with a partial upgrade
 * Checks the current WP install against the upgrade version checksums, to
 see if we can skip any files

 It doesn't do the check after the upgrade (as suggested in the  original
 ticket), as I think we need to consider how we want that to behave.
 Blindly retrying the copy feels like the wrong solution, and I suspect the
 answer will be huge and will bog down this ticket, so it'd be good to
 tackle that separately.
