Save
Your favorite home-cooked meal, maybe a recipe handed down generation to generation, these are things worth saving aren't they?

What's the best way?

Would it be better to revert back to the old one and make another attempt to improve that, or continue changing the altered version? Discuss version history, forking, and pulling.
