Re: Can I "graft" one project's working directory beneath another?

OK, the better lighting on the BART on the way home helped me find part of the
solution myself: External Dependencies. That looks like a great feature (which
will probably be of great use to my team), but it also looks like the thing I'm
wishing for below doesn't quite exist. No problem: we can resort back to paths
in environment variable and a tagging script.
