If you really want separate copies of the files to appear in separate
repositories, why not just make separate copies of the file for the
import or add them to your working copies? That way what you check is
what you get when you check out and not a misrepresentation. If they
are large enough to be concerned about the storage space, then it would
make sense to fix the repositories so you had a place where everyone
could use externals so you also only need one copy there.
