Casey:
Over the course of the weekend, I found a tool, braids, that does EXACTLY
what I need. While it'd be great if it were integrated into GIT, I'll take
it's external nature for now:
http://github.com/evilchelu/braid
It would appear that in the background it uses the subtree merge strategy
and a repository-local metadata files (.braids) to accomplish what it does.
Best,
Grant
