[daisy] Mass Import/Export

[Bruno Dumon]

Hi,

Whether you need the import-export tool to move from dev to production
depends on what you want to move.

The import-export tool is 'only' a tool to move documents (and the
subset of the schema in use by them). It doesn't move users, the ACL,
the version history of the documents (nor does it keep their original
timestamps etc.). So it's a bit like a user would type over the
documents from one repo to the other.

If you want to make a literal copy of the repository, duplicating the
database (repo+activemq) and the repo + wiki data dirs is the way to go,
and really isn't difficult. No need to run install scripts etc., just
move the data, possibly change db params in myconfig.xml, and start
Daisy again (make sure to use the same Daisy version).
