Yes, using vendor branches was my first idea. But using them daily means
that I'd either have to go through an error-prone manual process or
that I'd have to spend more time than I currently have on automating
it. At any rate, when using a vendor branch, I'm essentially ignoring
that the external framework is under subversion control itself. It
feels wrong not to take advantage of this.
