If you want to make changes and have easy upgrades at the same time I
recommend you to use darcs. For your current situation that would mean:
1. checkout the darcs repository up to the "tag" of the release you're
currently using
2. create a unified diff from your changed wiki against the darcs
repository
3. apply the diff to your darcs repository
4. record the patch with darcs
5. use darcs to update the wiki to the latest release
6. resolve conflicts (if any) and record the changes (if any) in darcs
