at this point it might be better to do some rename and clone

AH!
Now I understand!
The crucial point here is the "zfs rename", which
"moves" the original stuff out of the way and then
whatever data is required (eg snap @01 or @02)
is "moved" to the correct spot by cloning the wanted
snapshot.
That's quite clever - thanks a lot! It's clear now.
But this has the "chance" of becoming rather confusing
if too many snapshots or "branches" are used. But
that's the way it is… :-)
