That's not much use then.

I used the IssueExporterTool way back in March.  The JSON file contains only 
references to images; you have then to write a script to process the JSON file, 
extract the urls, and somehow reattach them to the Issue posts after the Issues 
have been loaded into a DB.  Maybe not too difficult, but I've not tried it.  
Fortunately Allura does all this automatically, although it does take 36 hours, 
probably due to a activity-limiting control.
