 with two incremental updates. The browser that the user ends up with will
 unfortunately be different than the 6.0.1 DMG one though.

 But just for one release, right? As far as I understand this is happening:
 if a user downloads a .dmg with Tor Browser >= 6.x they'll get a full
 update the next time irrespective whether there is an incremental one
 available. Thereafter, all OS X user should be on the same page again
 (modulo those that downloaded a fresh .dmg in the meantime) and
 incremental updates should be working again, too. Even relocating of the
 bundle (+ the TorBrowser-Data dir) should still leave a functional Tor
 Browser.
