Thanks a lot David, for your explanation and detailed commands. I was trying to find a way out reading the convoluted user manual, and finally found one way that worked (and much much more convoluted than the commands you listed and yet achieving much less).
Thanks a lot, I wish I had known them earlier. I am now trying to apply to my existing repo, wish me luck...
