I have my hiera data in a separate repository with the same branches as my environment repositories. I have r10k setup to check out my hiera repo and two environment trees. My first idea was to use a submodule but I am not sure r10k would handle that properly. You could use a separate module for the global hiera settings and get r10k to manage that as well.
It wouldn't be too tricky to build a hiera tree that does lookups into your two hiera trees as long as they share a parent directory. I am also about to publish my puppet management module to puppet forge which might give you some inspiration. It can manage an r10k setup with multiple repositories. The docs are a bit sparse st the moment but it may help. https://github.com/abstractitptyltd/abstractit-puppet It would also be pretty easy to change my module to check out multiple hiera trees. Hope that helps. Pete.
