The way I solve this problem is to keep a repo of all projects that share
the same libraries together. This creates some other minor problems (that
were recently made less of a problem with the -p option enhancement of the
TIMELINE command.) But, I think this is the only reasonable way.
There is also another possibility. Under Windows, you can use the MKLINK
command to create a directory junction under your project (each project).
This way you can keep the tree structure you have, keep a single copy of
your libraries, but make it appear as if each project has its own copy.
FOSSIL will treat this as a normal directory, meaning that if you open the
repo somewhere else (where the junction does not exist), you will get a copy
of you library.
One potential problem with this approach is that, even though there is a
single copy of the library, each project thinks it has a private copy. So,
making library changes for the sake of one project have to be propagates to
all other repos using the same library in their projects.

Greetings!
First of all, I want to thank you whomever was the creator of this wonderful
utility. Props to you.
I have a setup on my Windows PC where I have many sources of various
languages. That will be another question later, but today, I have a
project, which I created a repo for it, but I have libraries somewhere else.
Imagine this scenario:
Project lives on: c:\sources\d\MyProject\MyProject.d
Libraries used by this project live on: c:\D\import
\my\lib\aaa.d
\my\lib\bbb.d
\my\lib\ccc.d
\my\lib\ddd.d
\my\lib\eee.d
\my\lib\fff.d
\other0\lib\aaa.d
\other1\lib\aaa.d
The problem is that when I make changes to the to the
c:\sources\d\MyProject\MyProject.d everything is fine I get the new version
etc. But, when I make changes in c:\D\Import, the changes are not being
checked in. I know I can open another repo and keep track of them like
that, but is there another way where I can point to another directory and
still use the repo for c:\sources\d\MyProject\MyProject.d? I hope I was
clear enough. Thanks.
josé
