    Description

      I recently had a problem with importing the beta3 xar where you have to be very careful (much too careful) in selecting the pages you want to import because the import wizard seems to simply replace an existing page with the one in the archive. It would be much better if the import wizard conserved version history and simply popped a new version of an existing page. This would allow a user to rollback in case some existing content was replaced.
