Well, there are two more options:
 1.  Go through the last year and a half worth of commit logs to SVN trunk
and look for anything that changes the schema. Check to make sure that
schema change isn't also in 0.20.2. Take the list of all these schema
changes and write a script that reverses them
 2. Make a backup copy of your current DB. Restore from your 0.20 backup and
immediately upgrade to what your current version from SVN is. Compare the
two databases (your current DB and the newly upgraded one) to see what's
different and write a script of some sort to put that new information that's
in your current DB in the 0.20.2 format.

The real life practical answer is that there is no way to downgrade. There
is only restore from backup.

Or, as mentioned here, deal with the shortcomings of the current development
version. It sounds like you have to pick now which of the two bad options is
better for you.
