Dev work inside apps is overwritten by marketplace app version聽#7011
Description
As @Henni wrote in nextcloud/contacts#305 (comment)
I lost my work when my dev instance overwrote my git repository during an update... 馃槩
This shouldn鈥檛 happen.
@ChristophWurst suggested:
It's simple: if an app is downgraded, then don't replace it. Alternatively, don't run the update everything that can be updated after an app update/downgrade.
I added:
or is it possible to check if the app is checked out via git? In that case it should of course not be upgraded with one from the app store.

Who can help here @rullzer @schiessle @ChristophWurst?

Not that easy, because you never know where the
.gitfolder for example is placed.Maybe we should disable app store updates if the update channel is
git? On the other side: testing this feature and finding bugs in it is also quite hard. :/jancborchardt commentedon Oct 30, 2017
For the main apps though it鈥檚 directly in the root folder of the app, no?
What do you think about @ChristophWurst鈥檚 solution?
MorrisJobke commentedon Oct 30, 2017
Sure, but what about for example the social sharing apps it is in a parent folder. And getting all this in our code feels cumbersome.
Sometimes it's also an upgrade, because you forgot to pull and a new release is already in the app store 馃槈
But yes - downgrades should not be done, because this really does not make sense and also would brick that app.

So do we have a dead-simple first solution for 13?
Would be good if app devs like @Henni and @ChristophWurst don't randomly lose their work because of a core issue. ;)

Fix is in #7505
