Is this possible?

[Russel Winder]

I have a central, master Bazaar branch that is being used as a central
repository instead of using a Subversion repository.  I want to extract
one of the directories (and everything under it as a sub-tree) out into
a new branch so that the material can be published separately from
everything else.  Clearly it is possible to extract the current state of
the sub-tree and make that revision 1 of the new branch, i.e. loose the
history.  However, is it possible to extract the history of the sub-tree
as well as the current state?

I am guessing that the answer is no but possibly, i.e. there is no
simple way of doing it, but one may be able to write a Python program to
filter the history and changesets from the origjnal branch so as to
build the required branch of the sub-tree.

Or perhaps this is a sufficiently common thing that someone already has
the program?

Thanks.
