Description
It would be useful if packrat provided tools to tell you what upgrades are available, and to upgrade and snapshot.
This is particularly useful for development - for example, while I'm working on dplyr, I have other packages that use it for data analysis, and it's currently a bit of a pain to keep in sync. It would also be useful to help people upgrade their packages to the latest version in a principled manner.
