Sharing a vendor branch with 2 project repos?

Hi All,



I'm trying to set up a by-the-book vendor branch, but I need to share it with 
two projects that exist in their own repositories.



The patches I need to maintain to the vendor code do need to be shared by both 
projects, so that makes things simpler I think. 



Here is the structure I'm planning to use:  (Hope the formatting makes sense)


# Repo 1: For vendor drops
VendorDropRepo/SomeVendor/LibA/

    ./delivery_current

    ./delivery_tags/

    ./delivery_tags/delivery_1.0

    ./delivery_tags/delivery_1.1

    ./patched_current


# Repo 2: For ProjectOne code

ProjectOneRepo/trunk

    svn:externals /VendorDropRepo/SomeVendor/LibA/patched_current@100 LibA 
 
# Repo 2: For ProjectTwo code

ProjectTwoRepo/trunk

    svn:externals /VendorDropRepo/SomeVendor/LibA/patched_current@150 LibA 


Question for the mailing list: 

Does this seems like a good idea? 


Thank you,

David


P.S. I think the vendor branch chapter in the svn book is missing an example 
command line for the second vendor drop tagging step.  I've attached a patch 
that adds this.  I'm guessing at the xml format, so take it with a grain of 
salt.
