Thanks! That works.

I was gradually feeling my way through most of these steps, but missing a
few. Is there a doc on the desired bloom repo format? Once in a while the
seem to need minor surgery like this.

I actually need to release groovy-devel to Groovy, then a different
hydro-devel to Hydro. So, I'll need to configure a groovy track, which is
currently missing. I tried to copy the hydro track as a starting point,
but:

 $ git-bloom-config copy hydro groovy
Track 'groovy' does not exist.

No problem. I'll just create a new one.
