Bug: UpgradeTWiki script only copies pub files from the default webs

Only the files in pub for the default webs are copied using the UpgradeTWiki script. The script should copy pub files for all webs.

Test case

Try upgrading any Beijing installation with attachments in non-default webs and inspect the merged result.

I started refactoring the upgadeTopics code in DEVELOP, and when I ran it on pub, it worked surprisingly well. it seams that when MartinGregory & I wrote the original code, we didn't assume .txt files, so binary files in pub are upgraded in a similar way.. I don't know what will happen if it tries to merge non-mergable files, but we'll find out soon

On a similar note, I recall that the UpgradeTWiki script did not handle my customized additions to TWikiDocGraphics very well. I had planned to add feedback on the upgrade procedure after upgrading my home TWikiSite, but haven't gotten 'round to that yet ..

I have finally upgraded my home TWikiSite. As mentioned in UpgradeTWiki, I believe that not automatically copying all /pub files should be considered a feature!

My twiki footprint is > 6 GB. By the next upgrade, it may be double that size. And you never know whether a server out there will have sufficient disk space to completely duplicate the /pub. If the /pub files are not copied automatically, then the admin could decide whether to copy or simply move the cumbersome files.
