Er, when I make these MCDs (mark the repository as storing diffs, hit the
Save button) my image (3.9a-6721) pops up a never-ending sequence of
"Diffing..." messages, but never seems to stop. I mean, I'm trying to save
the Collections mcd, which altered about 10 or so methods, and the saving
process has already taken 7 minutes! Am I doing something crazily wrong?

My previous attempt was on the Traits package, and that took at least an
hour before I gave up.

Is there a way to split up a ChangeSet into a set of per-package change
sets? Then I can post those to Mantis instead of MCDs.
