Success.  I double-checked --config-dir, and it was correctly pointing to the
directory which contained wikiconfig.py for moin-1.6.3, so I decided to

	mv /path/to/var/moin-1.6.2/data /path/to/var/moin-1.6.3/data

and rerun the command

	/path/to/moin-1.6.3/MoinMoin/script/moin.py
	--config-dir=/path/to/etc/moin-1.6.3
	--wiki-url=www.mydomain.com/secure/wiki.cgi migration data

This time I got a better result:


	/home/pooryori/www/www Calling migration script for
	/home/pooryori/private/var/moin-1.6.3/data, base revision 1060100
	Returned. New rev is 1060200.

	Calling migration script for
	/home/pooryori/private/var/moin-1.6.3/data,
	base revision 1060200
	Returned. New rev is 1060300.

	Calling migration script for
	/home/pooryori/private/var/moin-1.6.3/data,
	base revision 1060300
	Final mig script reached, migration is complete.

Thanks for the help!
