4.6 -- New .sources and .changes files

We really should finally compressChanges and condenseSources for this
release. The last time we spoke about this, I believe we said we want
to:

1) current changes merged into .sources.
2) exclude leaves in history (methods with no descendants)
3) except the current one of course
4) all prior history with descendants is kept

Did I say that right? We need a volunteer to look into this.

Thanks!

That's right. I think another way of saying it is

1) current changes merged into .sources.
2) save unbranched history of each method

The additional work is to derive, and merge the history of methods from prior releases. Maybe that's what you mean by 4 above.

best,
