Hi,

mercurial can do this through a feature called "subrepos". It is
considered a "feature of last resort" but we have been using it
extensively for several years now and it works very well as long as
you do not try to do a lot of "history modification" which is not
something that you are bound to do until your expertise grows. Once
that happens you should be ready to fix any problems that you might
face.

You can read up on subrepos here:
