I have a draft implementation in #2698 I have been working on.

This would also be useful for #2696 & #2682 UPDATE: After further inspection, that is not the case. They must have the same CRS.

With #2698, @gboeing could change the code from: ```python gdal.BuildVRT(filepath, filepaths).FlushCache() ``` to this: ```python import rasterio import rasterio.shutil with rasterio.open(filepaths) as vrt: rasterio.shutil.copy(vrt, filepath) ```

Alternate solution in #2699.

Thanks @MATE023 :+1:

@sgillies just remembered this PR. Do you think that it is a small enough change to be a candidate for something to include in 1.9?

Thanks @sgillies :+1:

Same issue if I do this: ```bash gdal_translate -of AAIGrid test_tiff.tiff test_tiff.asc ``` When I open the ascii data, it is flipped.
