Issue-99: Need to version parent object without having to versionchild objects

(Resend after fixing typo)

Dear colleagues,

Please discuss your thoughts on this issue and proposed resolution:

<http://wxforge.wx.ll.mit.edu:8080/jira/browse/REGREPTC-99>

This issue is one we need to think extra carefully due to its implications.

Issue 100 <http://wxforge.wx.ll.mit.edu:8080/jira/browse/REGREPTC-100>
is really a very old issue. It will get solved if we solve Issue 99!
