To be more precise: you can write a new, different history, but not
change the existing one (which is probably duplicated anywhere you
don't have control). I don't think bzr has a native way to rewrite
history to a subdirectory, but you can try to script that (trivial
with a linear history - checkout a revision, copy a subdir to a fresh
repository, commit there, and loop - but not so easy if you need to
manage merges).
