Hello,

I am new to the development process. I have added some fields to admin  
pages to make use of metadata information.

What is the best practice for handling changes to the code? Should I  
simply note them and reimplement them after each upgrade to radiant? I  
have seen references to subversion in past postings. Is this overkill  
for minor changes?

Thanks,

Bryan
