I have 'upgraded' my site to SSL two weeks ago, and following the instructions given by Google, added the version of the domain (which uses .htaccess to automatically redirect to the www.... version now) as an extra entry ('property') in Webmaster Tools ... but now, the statistics for the version start only 2 weeks ago, while the ones for the version end by then...
As a consequence, developments of certain things like Google Index status etc. are only partially displayed for each version - so if I focus on the SSL version from now on, I will 'lose' all those years of comparable data collected in Webmaster Tools.
Isn't there any way to 'combine' the data from both versions like Google Analytics seems to be able to (but which doesn't display half of the information Webmaster Tools can give me)?

It will simply take time to clear up. You are in a sense, shutting down one site and starting up another. This is why stats for one have ended and the other only show two weeks. Same with indexing and anything else.
HTTP versus HTTPS are two different sites as far as Google is concerned. Not sure why - it does not make sense to me, but I rather suspect it is an ounce of precaution and it is technically correct though traditionally they are often the same site.
You will see a fluctuation in search performance as well. If no-one told you there would be a disruption, then I am sorry for that - because it is always the case. In fact, it can be a rather large one. Almost like starting over but not quite.
So patience is what is needed. There is nothing to fix. It will all work out. It is just part of the price you pay when making this kind of a change.
