+I have thought about doing this, especially if there is ever a security hole in git-annex.
+
+All it needs is a file containing the version number to be written along-side the git-annex build, and git-annex knowing if it was built as a standalone build, and should check that.
+
+As for actually performing the upgrade:
+
+* Easy on Linux
+* Not sure on OSX.. Is it possible to use hdiutil attach to replace a dmg while a program contained in it is currently running?
+* Probably impossible on Android, at least not without using double the space. Probably better to get git-annex into an app store.
+* Doable on Windows, but would need git-annex to be distributed in a form that was not a installer.exe.
