Chris could:
1. Open the existing file in time-travel mode (readonly, so that it
loads no transactions later than the given point). The 'stop'
parameter to the FileStorage initializer is the one which
triggers time-travel.
2. Open a new, writable filestorage.
3. Run 'copyTransactionsFrom' on the new storage, passing the old,
and then close the storages.
4. Restart his Zope with the new storage.
