I just skimmed through it pretty quick but it seems like it does a good job
of explaining your exact situation. You put vendor provided code in a
branch. You then do an initial copy of the vendor code from the branch to
the trunk. All of your changes to the vendor code occurs on the trunk. When
the vendor provides new code you deliver it to the branch, then merge the
changes to the trunk.
