Configuration in Helm

[jeroenvisser101]

AFAIK, the way to configure environment variables when using helm is to use helm edit [chart] and edit the rc's template. I think it would be great if helm would allow (in some way) to change the variables set in the template, possibly doing something like this:

# ./postgres.env.dist
POSTGRES_USER=...
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=...

...and then run deis install --with-config=./postgres.env or similar which would allow to replace/append environment variables without changing the chart itself and also to allow committing .dist files in git repositories.
