Import edits from NuWiki

When importing from NuWiki to Vaultwiki, all wiki edits get lost. Only the last edit seems to be saved (or the person who created the article?)
On an active site with a large wiki article base this can cause a huge wave of complaints, because many members have invested their time and effort and want to see them credited.
I think this is a very important issue, because of the community riot it can cause.

Please add functionality in the import process, to import NuWiki edits as well.

I am not sure about doing this by default. The reason we took it out of the import process is because the number of edits grows exponentially with the number of articles. During our early tests at making an importer, importing the edits brought whole servers down, simply from the sheer number of items that needed to be read from the database, analyzed, and copied to a new table. Perhaps this should be an optional step in the import process.

I'd rather bring my server offline for a bit, than loose all edits.
Do you have any indication how long this step could take?

It really depends how many articles you have, and how old your wiki is. Say you have 1000 articles, and each article was edited 100 times. That's 100,000 records that need to be created, which takes about 100x longer (minus some overhead) than importing the article with just the most recent edit.
