upgrade.txt says:

1. Backup your database and Drupal directory - especially your "sites"
directory which contains your configuration file and added modules and
themes, any contributed or custom modules in your "modules" directory,
and your "files" directory which contains uploaded files. If other files
have modifications, such as .htaccess or robots.txt, those should be
backed up as well.

This isn't quite right any more.
"files" is now inside "sites", so it's sufficient to back that up.

Gracious! This definitely needs fixing in Drupal 7 and Drupal 6.

Bump. This is still a problem.

I think these changes are excellent -- much more up-to-date and quite clear. Congratulations on your first core patch!

Great work, jackaponte! :) Committed to HEAD.

Looks like this applies cleanly to 6.x as well.
