What is the proper way to do a minor release upgrade, say from 6.12 to 6.13? My current drupal was installed under /drupal-6.12. Should I unzip the package to /drupal-6.13, then copy all the files under /drupal-6.12/sites to the new directory, change the domain to point to the new drupal root, and then run update.php? Or should I unzip over the current /drupal-6.12 directory and overwrite all the files there.
Thanks!

What I usually does with a "ssh" is:
BACKUP:
rsync -av public_html public_html_01
use phpMyAdmin or mysqldump to backup your mysql db
EXTRACT:
cd public_html
tar --strip-components=1 -xzvf ../drupal...tar.gz
then:
- check related configs and if necessary copy from public_html_01 the backup folder back
- then do the usual update.php stuff
FallBack:
- if things go wrong, fall back to your backup'ed database and drupal folder :-)
