I assumed that if the migration was successful, data would be moved or copy
from the old data path:

	/path/to/var/moin-1.6.2/data

to the new data path:

	/path/to/var/moin-1.6.3/data

But that doesn't happen, so I assumed the migration failed.  From your reply, I
guess the migration is done in-place.  Is that correct?  I also don't
understand where the script would get the idea that the data is already at
level 1060300, when the meta file in the old data directory says 1060100.  I
guess at this point I could just copy the data files into the new data
directory, but I'd like to understand how this works for future reference.
It's also a little mystifying to me that although only one of the --wiki-url
values I tried was possibly correct, I got the same "result" with all of
them:  "migration is complete"
