Hi,

with Mercurial a subrepository sub can be added to a repository super
like this:

	echo sub = sub > .hgsub
	hg add .hgsub
	hg clone https://example.com/hg/sub
	hg commit -m "added subrepo"

Mercurial then creates a .hgsubstate to offer a consistent snapshot of
the repository. There are some (rare) cases where this is not useful or
convenient, e.g. collobaration on a bunch of text files with different
access rights.

If Alice only has access to the subrepository sub but not to the
containing repository super, then Bob (who has access to super and sub)
always has to update the state of the subrepository/ies when Alice
changes sub.

Is there a more convenient way for Bob to tell HG that he always wants
to use the the tip of the sub repository as state?

Tobi
