moving a subvol

I have hunted high and low for the information but, if it is out there, it is well hidden.

What I want to do: I want to relocate (move) a subvolume from one BTRFS volume to a different BTRFS volume.

I have seen the writeup for incremental backup which takes a snapshot, and then using btrfs-send and btrfs-receive to create a copy on a different volume. That works fine except the btrfs-receive set the new copy to be readonly.

What I want to do is to use that new subvolume read/write. The only way I have figured out to do this is to create another snapshot on the new volume which is NOT readonly. I believe that means I need to keep both of these subvolumes around.
