Using Common files across multiple projects

[Thomas Frasher]

Hi all,

I'm trying to change the repository that we are using here.
There are several projects that use some of the same files, headers and .cpp
files.

Ideally I would like the checkout to get the files automatically, whether
they are in a different repository (i.e. a different module) or whether they
are local.  This will save me many hours explaining this.  Also I need to
put them back to the "home" repository when the changes are committed (all
this without the need to commit me at the end of it).

I'm confused reading the documentation, it seems the ampersan commands are
what is needed here, but I haven't been able to figure out how they work.
Anyone doing this already?

Thomas
