Hey,

no. old branch certificates are immutable. I mean, you can delete them,
but they have signatures; they can't be changed if you want the
signature to check out. you can however pick a new branch name and mark
all the historical states as being in some new branch. in theory we
could write a command to do this.
Doing this would probably be good for corporate stuff too. At least
once here, we've changed all our Java classpaths from de.blahblah.foo to
de.foobar.blag as a result of repositioning a product as being not for a
specific customer, but a general product of our company. Company name
changes would result in similar things. While it's arguable about
whether changing these classpaths is a sensible use of time, once the
Powers That Be have said it's happening, it's happening. If the Java
classpaths change, it'd sure be inconvenient to have the old classpaths
still in monotone...
