Hello,
i tried this plugin (and others as well) to auto-update wordpress installations.
None worked and at first i couldn’t figure out the reasons, all seemed well and the “status” messages were all good.
Then i stumbled across a simple wordpress plugin called “background update tester” which told me the reason why no updates were done: a “.git” directory in one of the parent directories of the wordpress installation directory prevented automatic updating at all.
It would be really great if you could include this test for a “.git” directory (in the wordpress installation directory and any of its parents) into the “status” messages to stop this reason from sneaking in unseen and perhaps prevent other users to spend time figuring out what’s going on.
