I've read some differing opinions. Can someone settle this once and for all ... for a minor version upgrade, which of the following are necessary?

1) Switch to a core theme (such as Garland or Bluemarine) before the upgrade
2) Disable all contributed modules before the upgrade
3) Remove all old files and directories from the Drupal installation directory before the upgrade

Thank you.

1) not necessary. Why this is done on majors. Themes from one major to another done work will nneed to be updated. You'll also want to be able to navigate your site.

3) correct, though there are no new files added therefore you can simply overwrite. I tend to delete everything but the sites folder. Which is where all files get uploaded to unless you've changes this, and your settings.php file is.

That said, if you've changed your .htaccess file back it up. Compare your with the new one and incorportate the changes ino the one.
