refactor(@angular/cli): remove ng init & ng update

[Brocco]

BREAKING CHANGE: Removing the ng init & ng update commands because their current implementation causes more problems than it solves. Update functionality will return to the CLI, until then manual updates of applications will need done.

At least a BREAKING CHANGE section on this one please :)

[Brocco]

Thank you, breaking change text has been added to the PR.

[hansl]

I'll reword the BREAKING CHANGE part. Thanks! LGTM.

Hi,
just for information, as of today, the main README.md has not been updated accordingly to the realase of the 1.0.0-beta.32, and still suggest to run ng update after an update of @angular/cli.

@AlainD- you're absolutely right, thanks for the heads up!

Here's a PR that'll fix it #4771

[fvilers]

I'm missing the init command. How can I create an application in an existing git repository?

[equinox]

@fvilers You could ng new appname --skip-git (optionally --skip-install also to skip yarn/npm install to save moving the node_modules over also) a new application in another directory then move the files over manually.

[fvilers]

@equinox This is what I did, but this is not the behavior I expect from a cli. I hope the maintainers will restore the command soon.

[kuncevic]

@fvilers you are not alone #4768
It might come back or might not, basically the core team do not want to support such dunctionality but if anyone from community can come upnwith a fix they are looking forward to it.

So what's the solution for upgrading an existing app guys? Manually change the package.json file?

[alaindeurveilher]

I don't know the recommendations but what I usually do, I create a new project in a temporary folder, and then compare the differences between that new project and mine. I manually modify my project accordingly then.
