When merging, changes in meta information are not copied

There are cases in which a developer wants to update name, summary, description or homepage of his software. Currently, this seem not to be possible.

@talex5, can you confirm? If so, do you have an idea how this should be done?

A simple approach could be to insert a function call at https://github.com/0install/0repo/blob/4dae366cf15a7f2a5d0fc69c180bfd0dd045a4d7/repo/merge.py#L186 which copies the values from the local feed to the master feed (overriding the present values).

It's probably easier to make a pull request (or just edit the main feed's XML) in that case. I suspect updating it from the submitted feed will not be what you wanted to do in most cases (the feed's description might explain that it's a developer version, or just be out-of-date, for example).
