Comment (by organizedthemes):

 I would advise that you make it work like the Easy Theme and Plugin
 Updates plugin, which allows us to overwrite the current plugin/theme and
 then it actually adds the Older version of that plugin/theme as a .zip
 file in the Media section in WordPress. Smart and works well in case we
 need to revert. It's a backup.
