Bug Description

write-charm describes the process of writing a charm, and even talks a little about making a change to a charm that you're working on and have just deployed.

However, it doesn't mention the need to bump the version number when re-deploying in order to get juju to pay attention to the new changes.

This leads to confusion and wasted effort when charm developers puzzle over why their latest change didn't work.

FWIW, deploy -u will do this for you automatically. We should definitely mention this prominently in the docs, though.
