Comment:

 I just had a lovely chat with the people in #wordpress about just this
 feature.  For reference, see http://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-
 update-wordpress-theme?replies=8, but essentially I wanted to be able to
 clear the APC cache when a WordPress theme was updated.

 The consensus seemed to be that I should not be using the online editor,
 which is fine except that:

 * It exists, so it must serve a purpose
 * I'm not going to try and teach a designer yet another tool (ssh) in
 order to let her get work done

 Since this ticket appears to have died (other than the resuscitation by
 @ericlewis prompted by my wordpress discussion), I created a plugin that
 seems to work for my use-case (I seem to have lost my commit rights on the
 wp svn a few years ago). https://gist.github.com/a92e511c5f1d299716cc
 contains the plugin, for anyone stumbling upon this ticket.

 Makes a hook for both theme and plugin file updating, as well as menu
 items such that they can be triggered on demand (in case you do edit them
 from the command-line). One caveat is that I think themes are loaded
 before plugins, and so it looks like calling this hook from a theme's
 functions.php file fails. Not sure what the best solution to this is.

 It would be nice to have official support for this particular request, but
 again, it appears discussion about this ticket has died, so I figured I'd
 post my findings for future developers.
