Comment (by boklm):

 In order to make this kind of change easier, maybe we should include a
 format version in the URL.

 For instance we can replace the "update" in the URL with
 "update_%formatversion".

 So instead of having URLs starting with :
 https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/update/
 we could use URLs starting with:
 https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/update_2/

 If we need to change the URL format again the future, we can then change
 it to use "update_3", and keep the old directories on the server until
 everybody upgraded.
