When a version control system is in use, an appropriate warning message
should be shown on the Updates screen, recommending that updates be
performed via their VCS instead. The update action shouldn't be blocked,
though.
Similarly, for every plugin and theme that has an update available,
WordPress should check whether the individual plugin or theme's directory
is under version control and present a similar warning because updating a
plugin or theme will completely wipe out its directory, therefore allowing
version history to be lost.
The `WP_Upgrader::is_vcs_checkout( ... )` method can be used to detect VCS
usage.
