Tom:
Thank you again. This seems like a topic that could be an FAQ, but I guess the hesitation would be to save worrying people about a problem that is manageable..... if you are not making too many changes AND the child theme is not going to be updated (very often).David's solution is clever but has its own downsides.
I think I will plan on making edits in the child theme, but with documented with comments and if an important change to the child theme comes to plan on using file-compare to identify all of the updates in style.css and functions.php.

TerryBMemberTom, thank you very much for your reply. This helps me see how to deal with the possible future events.
In following links to GenesisThemes.ca and subsequently Yoast, I do note the following from his website:
"Yoast will make sure that themes will be updated after each major update of WordPress. If and when Google does major updates that change how your site should be optimized, Yoast will also update the themes based on that. Finally, all themes will be updated when new functionality becomes available in WordPress core."

TerryBMemberI came to the forum to ask the same question and so will try tagging onto this thread.
Do people making modifications to style.css and functions.php keep track of their edits (or a comparison of the child theme they started with and their edited files) in order to put those changes into the new files provided in an updated child theme?
