Title:
  Add sanity check to look for people who upgrade by copying Mahara over
  their old installation

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Per bug 1519516, I have come to realize that some users upgrade Mahara
  by copying the new version over their old version. This can cause
  problems because it doesn't delete files that have been removed in the
  new install.

  It would probably be a good idea if we added a check for this, either
  in Mahara's pre-upgrade sanity check, or even just a warning on the
  admin login page.
