Ah, ok, thanks... I was looking at [1] by the way, wasn't sure if
indexing would rebuild these.

My situation is I'm merging some namespaces together, for instance one
is "papers" and one is "articles", both from different timeframes so
they don't overlap, though most pages underneath would have a common
history and perhaps common names.

Essentially what I'm doing now is using the latest "papers or
articles" file in "/data/pages", and merging the attics together via
renaming. I figured I'd also have to merge the ".changed" for these by
hand, which isn't a problem.

I suspect for the meta files though, given they have both 'creation'
and 'date'->'modified' data, would need a combination of data from a
"first version" and a "last version" to be correct, though this
doesn't fix the 'relation' fields.

So I suspect two paths...

1. Is there an easy way to modify the meta files here as well then,
like via a command line tool?
2. Fields like 'relation' or 'abstract' are updated during page
revisions, right? So is there a way to simulate a page revision
operation using the a page's latest timestamp?
