Sometimes plugins break after update. In those cases it's difficult to restore the plugin to its previous version. With this commit Vundle will create a tag (`vundle-before-update`) which keeps track of the commit used before an update. This makes it easy to go back to use the previous version.

@dbosk This is an interesting suggestion/idea. Maybe it would be better as an optional (and default not turned on) feature? |

Yes, it would make sense to have it as an option. My Vim-script skills
are too limited for that though and I have too limited time right now,
so it will take me a while. But I suppose we're not in a hurry :-)
I'm not sure what default would be the best though. Off makes sense,
then the current default behaviour would not change (desirable). On the
other hand, one only starts looking for this type of feature once
something has broken, in which case it would be nice to find it turned
on already.
Anyway, off by default is probably best for a first version. I'll update
the pull request once I've managed to change it to an option.

vundle-update-TIME, but having one level of undo is sufficient to solve the problem.Comments are appreciated.
