Comment (by dd32):

 > Can we use this for nightly builds after a beta is released too?
 Yes, we'll tweak the WordPress.org API to understand that 4.1-beta builds
 don't have any new files (when updating from another install >= 4.1-beta1)

 > In 30384

 The changes in [attachment:30245.3.diff] to pre-check that the files exist
 has been dropped in this commit, after discussions we decided that having
 a incorrectly owned file was a far better user experience than having a
 file missing altogether. This scenario is highly unlikely to be hit
 however, as only in-branch releases will trigger this check, and usually
 with a partial build (And partial builds usually only modify core files,
 which if one is missing there'll generally be fatal errors anyway, unlike
 say a missing readme.html or tinymce image).
