It's not pretty.  Assuming you're using a recent version with tradspool
storage, you have to move the files over, use something like Perl to open
up each one and change the Newsgroups: and Xref: lines to show the right
group, and then rebuild your overview database (with makehistory) and run
`ctlinnd renumber '' `.
