Upgrading Mura
Upgrading Mura is a quick and painless process. You can use the Mura updater by going to "Site Settings" and clicking the "Upgrade Core Files" link. Mura will compare your current version with the latest release and update your core Mura files accordingly.
In addition, you can upgrade the site files for an individual site by going to "Site Settings" and editing a specific site. In the site settings for a specific site, you upgrade your site by clicking the "Upgrade Site Files" link. Mura will then compare your site files with the latest release and update accordingly there as well.
You can keep your site files on the upgrade path even if you need to customize a specific site (which is usually the rule, not the exception). The following files and directories will not be updated when updating site files within Mura:
- Any themes, including the "Merced" theme that ships with Mura
- Any files placed inside "/includes/display_objects/custom/"
- Your "local" contentRenderer.cfc, eventHandler.cfc, loginHandler.cfc and servlet.cfc
If you don't see these links in site settings, your version of Mura must be upgraded manually one last time. Follow the instructions here to upgrade your install of Mura manually.

For Sava upgrades, you also need to deploy the new 'wysiwyg' folder to your web root, otherwise the FCK editor will not be enabled when editing pages in the Site Manager.

I'm dumping everything from the .zip into my local dev directory under source control then reconciling any conflicts and deploying from the updated repository - Does that sound reasonable?

- there is no "upgrade core files" link.

Just to clarify, you can see the update link by clicking "site settings" in the top right of the admin screen. It's the same page that lists the sites that have been created within the mura instance.
If you do not see it you most likely have an older version and you will need to manually update by following the link above.
