Hi,
I'm working on a subset of an bigger project and I could use a way of
maintaining both the subset and keeping up to date with the main project
without messing around too much with patches. Preferably from the root of
the combined source-tree as with any normal CVS project.

I've been reading the archives regarding this (or similar) issues and it
seems that it would be possible to have the sources from different
repositories as long as each part is in it's own sub-directory. This would
work fairly well for my needs.

Since both the main project and the subset are fairly big and consists of
many sub directories scattered around I would like to ask for some advice
before I start experimenting.

* Is there anything I should pay special attention to (i.e. anything that
will not work without manual handling).
* Is there a way of making the initial checkout of both repositories to get
the administrative files correctly set up, or do I have to manually modify
the CVS/Entries file for each directory that has sub directories from both
repositories? If so, how?
* Last but not least, is there another better way of doing this? (Merging
the repositories is unfortunately not an option).

Regards
/Michael
