If I understand you correctly, you want to take four branches, each with
data in version1/, version2/, etc, and make it look like they all had
data in the project root throughout history. Is that right?

If so, cogito's cg-admin-rewritehist can probably do what you want (I
also posted a script a while back to do this exact thing, and I can dig
it up if you want).
