In the 8 months I have been using vB there have been 3 upgrades, 3.6 being the biggest. I had 23 modified templates. What I do each time is set up a dev site with its own db all copied from the live site (don't forget to edit config.php and settings in ACP for the new url).
I then run through the upgrade and note which templates are reverted. If any match my list of mods (yes, it's worth keeping a record of these) I then simply re do the edits. When I am happy all is OK I copy/paste those templates to a file so that when I do my live site I just copy/paste those templates over to the live site. Speeds things up.
The same applies to any file changes.
