The easiest way to do this is to make a php comment in your template. For example, you might write a note like this for yourself:

<?php // Changed from using thumbs.php to displaying full image. ?>

This way, if you are using a theme framework for your site, you can known which customizations you should move over to the new version.

Why use PHP comments instead of HTML comments? HTML comments will still show up when you view source on a page. PHP comments are removed by the PHP engine before the page is sent to the browser.
