Comment:

 Yah that's one of the downsides of extension that it won't upgrade from
 same version to same version.  It's only an issue for svn version of
 course.

 As a hack -- what I do is change the control file to be something like
 PostGIS 2.0.1SVNrxyz

 and then create a copy of the script to be from my old to faked version
 path.

 I agree we should come up with something more elegant or get in the habit
 of having interim version stops whenever we change the scripts. strk won't
 like that :).

 One thought i had is to have an unbundle script.  Basically a script that
 unbundles your postgis from extension so you can run the regular upgrade
 script and then rebundles it.

 That we could achieve in one step I guess. It's essentially how we get the
 update from extension to work.  But it won't have the nice "ALTER
 EXTENTION postgis UPDATE To" feel. Live on the edge have to pay some tolls
 :)
