As currently designed, user-config.php is a file that users are free to modify. However, with it in the source repository under that name, upgrades will copy the repository version over a possibly-modified version.

To fix this, rename user-config.php to user-config.dist.php, and update the installation instructions to include renaming this file. Future upgrades will continue to overwrite the dist version (allowing users to diff the two after upgrading, to see if there are any new configuration items), but will leave the user's configuration alone.
