A disjoint working copy operation is performing a Subversion operation
on working copies that connect to different Subversion repositories.

What if vendor/foolib was accessible through a Subversion repository,
either via a URL or via svn:externals? I know you could not copy
between your repository and the foolib repository, but could you merge
changes in the foolib repository into your repository? i.e., could
you still svn merge $REPO1/vendor/foolib/{1.2.3,1.2.4} for
$REPO2/project/trunk if REPO1 != REPO2?
