Thanks, Gareth. I knew I'd seen something, but I couldn't remember enough about what it was to even go looking for it. If I understand it correctly from the previous posts to the list, using "fossil open --nested" just allows a nested checkout to live within a parent checkout without confusing fossil; but the two checkouts are essentially separate. In other words, it's like a Subversion svn:external, except that fossil doesn't check it out for you automatically; you have to do that yourself (i.e., by "make getmydependencies" or something like that).
