In the case of adding new controls, the developer just adds them to  
his copy of the stack, once working the objects are added to the  
template stack and the scripts are imported in the normal way. Moving  
scripts is ok, the scripts just get imported from objects in the  
normal way, e.g. if you move a handler from the card script to a  
button then both the card and the object scripts are added to the  
blank template stack. Custom properties are imported too (forgot to  
mention that before).

Yes, there is some human intervention involved, but not that much,  
but there is almost always some user intervention needed with my  
Source Control System in my experience.

All the Best
