If we are going to move the data, we should move everything at once.
Moving it in parts is going to be more error prone and more likely to
fail.

No. But we may run into a problem moving the MySQL dump file if the
schema version differs. I think we just need to make the schema
version match, and if they don't, either manually downgrade the schema
in a temporary database, or ask Denis to upgrade. :-)

I proposed on bug [1] that we move all the data in order to preserve
the review history.
