#17875: torrc-defaults gets overwritten during update
-----------------------------+----------------------------

Severity: Major | Keywords: torrc-defaults

-----------------------------+----------------------------
After updating Tor Browser from 5.0.4 to 5.0.5 recently I noticed that my
settings in torrc-defaults have all gone and now I have a fresh config
file.
While I understand why keeping old config with new software might not be
the best way of working, I think it's good to have this file automatically
backed up with name like torrc-defaults.orig.1 or similar. May be even
give a note on this to user after successful update.
Marked its severity as Major because user can lose all his settings and
stay unnoticed until she checks this file later.
