Working with hierarchical repositories

[Marco Gerber]

Hello everybody

My use case is as follows:
We use eclipse to develop our software, and mercurial as a dvcs for our source code. So we have a .hg directory in our project folder which by itself is a folder inside the workspace. As eclipse manages part of the workspace and project configuration inside every project, we ignore all such files and directories. It would be nice for us to manage such files in a separate repository related to every depeloper and located local. This would enable us to setup a new workspace very fast as a simple clone would do all the work. However, mercurial doesn't allow to have parts of a working directory managed by repository A and others by repository B.

How is it possible to manage such files by mercurial?

Thanks,
Marco
