Comment (by zodiac1978):
As the title says, I suggest adding a version number in every PHP template
file in a (default)theme which could be overridden by a child theme (so
for for a `functions.php` this doesn't make any sense).
As an example I took the doc block from `search.php` of Twenty Fifteen. My
suggestion would be changing:
{{{
/**
* The template for displaying search results pages.
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Twenty_Fifteen
* @since Twenty Fifteen 1.0
*/
}}}
to this:
{{{
/**
* The template for displaying search results pages.
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Twenty_Fifteen
* @since Twenty Fifteen 1.0
* @version 1.0.0
*/
}}}
If you copy the file to your child theme the version number can now be
used to check if an update of the parent theme (in this case Twenty
Fifteen) is relevant for your child theme and you maybe should add the
changes manually to your child theme. This is the idea of the plugin and
in the end my idea for core, but I thought this could be a first step.
I know that this is not easy to add for an existing theme, so maybe we
start using that in the next bundled theme?
