I want to do what I would call a reference to a branch/entry as an entry
in another branch.

For example...

I have a branch that holds a set of DLL\'s that we get from a sister
company. They update them on occasion. For bug fix changes, we copy
them into a checked out directory and then do a commit. For major
(version) changes, we make a new branch and set the new DLL\'s in it.

We have several install projects that require the DLL set and so
require them to be in each of the install projects branch. If I copy
the required DLL branch (inside the Repo Browser) to the install branch
when I set up the install project, I get a nice free copy. The problem
lies when the DLL\'s receive a bug fix as now the install branch has a
stale copy. What I want in my install branch is a reference to the DLL
branch. This way I can have the DLL\'s in many installs and always get
the latest version of the DLL\'s when I Update an given install.

If there is a major (version) change to the DLL\'s, I make a new branch
for the new DLL\'s and update my install references as each project is
brought up to date on being compatible with the changes - and/or not
modify any install that will continue to use the old version.

So, is it possible to reference another branch as an entry inside a
branch?
