Issue Summary
Hi,
Thanks very much for your work!
In the readme, you discuss the additional complexities needed if a module performs a schema change to content or user tables.
I'm testing dbscripts and want to add such a module, in order to verify that I understand how to perform merge (before I have to! :).
I added the carbon module, which I thought would modify the user schema, but didn't have to run through the additional process.
Can you please give an example of a module that requires running update.php like you describe in the readme?
Thanks!

i18ntaxonomy (pachaged with i18ntaxonomy) likely does. At least it uses an implemntation of hook_schema_alter.
Date module might also, don't remember.
#2
Date module definitely does, it adds another column to the users table. Sometimes when a module updates itself from one version to the next you'd have to run update.php
