I can suggest following (a little tricky and hackerful) way:
1. Backup database
2. Using mysql console, rename Asgard's components (Root pages,
Styles, /Asgard snippetdir) to different names, change host info.
3. Check for correct Repligard table in your database;
4. run 'delete from repligard;' in mysql's console;
5. Install new Asgard.
6. Run 'repligard -m' for this database;
7. Delete old Asgard's components from new Asgard interface.
8. Export your database using Asgard and delete from XML file
all records with attribute 'deleted="<SOME-DATE>"'
I can't give you guarantie that it will work but I've used it myself.
Step 2 needed to recognize old records after installation, steps 3 and 4
are most important, step 6 will regenerate GUIDs for your data (and old Asgard
code which you'll delete at step 7). Step 8 is for safety.
