    | @yxxhero Sorry, I didn't see the change you pushed, and accidentally orphaned it pushing a change of my own. If you still have that commit, would you mind pushing it again? Thanks! | 
| @Secretions don't worry. I just rebased the code. do what you want to do. | 
| @Secretions you should fix the conflicts. | 
Currently, if _any_ helm release is extant in the cluster at all, "helmfile apply" will attempt to run a "helm diff" between the release in the cluster and the proposed release, and only run helm upgrade if the diff shows a change. While this is a sensible check for "deployed" releases, for failed (and possibly any other) release states, this results in the worst possible outcome: helmfile *appears* to finish successfully, while completely ignoring the failed release. This skips the diff for non-deployed releases, treating it in the same fashion as non-installed releases, always running the upgrade for these particular releases. This way, if re-running with the same chart would succeed, we have the opportunity to fix things on rerun; if it wouldn't, by rerunning the upgrade, we will again see the error rather than it going under the radar.

    * Diff output changed slightly
* Location of temp files not under /tmp running tests on mac
* Update `helm plugin install` reference to use `.git` suffix
  * For some reason I haven't sussed out, I get "Unable to retrieve
    local repo information" without it. Clearly this works in some
    other environment, but doesn't seem like it should matter.
    I can revert this part if it's a problem.

Currently, if any helm release is extant in the cluster at all, "helmfile apply" will attempt to run a "helm diff" between the release in the cluster and the proposed release, and only run helm upgrade if the diff shows a change.
While this is a sensible check for "deployed" releases, for failed (and possibly any other) release states, if the diff hasn't changed (even though the release never succeded), it results in the worst possible outcome: helmfile appears to finish successfully, while completely ignoring the failed release.
This ensures we always trigger an upgrade on releases that are in a non-deployed state. This way, if re-running with the same chart would succeed, we have the opportunity to fix things on rerun (let's say a helm hook pre or post-upgrade job will succeed now due to fixing a service external to the chart); if it wouldn't, by rerunning the upgrade, we will again see the error rather than it going under the radar and giving the false impression that everything is hunky dory.
