s/was/is/

I wanted to convey a temporal order, so I changed it to "every time after
Scalar is upgraded". Okay?

I think I understood the intent of the original, but it causes a
grammatical hiccup. Your revised version can work, although I might
write it this way:

    This option is meant to be run each time Scalar is upgraded.

However, perhaps that is too ambiguous and some users may think that
the process of upgrading Scalar will automatically run this command,
and you'd like to make it clear that it is the user's responsibility.
So, perhaps:

    Use this option after each Scalar upgrade.

or something.

I like the last one best, too.

Thank you,
