Thanks very much for pointing me towards vendor branches. I have now carefully read that section and would be happy to work that way.

Somebody else suggested I simply explode the vendor's zip in a branch of my project, resolve any conflicts there and then merge into my trunk. This misses out the vendor branch stage - all storage is in the application directory. What is the advantage of using the more general solution of the vendor branch?
