    I know there isn’t one absolute correct answer for this but if I am customizing the theme “twenty twelve” with a child theme which pieces should I just stick in there just in case? Of course I have a style.css and now also sidebar.php, header.php, and functions.php. Before I start the next site, if there is an answer, is there a sort of general list of things that ought to just be included?

    There is no one answer for this if anyone else happens to wind up here on this thread. You can, as it says in the codex, just have a style.css file to create a child theme. It does need the text as shown here.

    after that you can upload any additional templates as needed. I use cyberduck and just click on the folder under content-themes-my child theme and upload them there. Although the child theme has to be a zip file to upload it I haven’t had any trouble uploading individual templates to my child theme without zipping them. Do note that the you cannot cut and paste the functions.php file.
