If I want to move a sub-package out of a larger package (for example move
Kernel-Chronology out of package Kernel and into its own package called
Chronology-Core), and if I want to preserve the version history for that
sub-package, is there a way to do this?

I do not see any tool support for it. I tried manually updating the ancestry
for the new package (Chronology-Core) and adding the ancestry from a suitable
Kernel ancestor. This seems to produce a resonable version history in my
local image, and all looked good when I saved the package to local package-cache.

After copying the locally saved MCZ's with added version history up to
source.squeak.org, the result was a broken update stream. So ....

My manual hack is clearly not the right way to attack this problem. Is
there another approach that might work?

I really do not want to lose version history on the entire Chronology
package, so I am hoping that there is some simple thing that I may have
overlooked.

Thanks,
Dave
