Description

Steps to reproduce:

mv templates/github/.ci/scripts/release_requirements.txt.j2 templates/github/.ci/assets/
./plugin-template --github pulp_file

pulp_file will end up with a new .ci/assets/release_requirements.txt file but the old .ci/scripts/release_requirements.txt remains.

This could lead to lots of outdated and unused files in plugins.

Actions

This is a bit challenging to solve. A couple options I thought of:

Keep a list of deprecated files. Whenever a file is moved/removed, we need to add it to this deprecated list. When the plugin_template finds one of these files, it either:
- issues a warning or
- it automatically deletes the file.
Add a changelog entry whenever we move or remove files.
