You should have at most two versions, one in the sources file and one  
in the changes file. If you have more, then condenseChanges did not  
work properly.

One particular thing that breaks when running condenseChanges is  
overrides, which relies on the method history in the changes file.

Attached is a fix for that, it preserves method histories for methods  
in a "*-override" category. It's pretty dumb, retaining each and  
every version of that method. An improvement would be to only keep  
the necessary ones, that is, those most recent after the  
categorization changed. But it works ;-)
