I had this desire the other day. The best solution I could think of was
to have a repo for each independent branch. Then I would set up a
'merge' repo that all the sub-project branches would push their changes
to. This would allow some one to check out the project as a whole. 

My only concern (which I haven't investigated) would be what happens if
I accidental include the same file name in two sub-project repos, but
the contents are different. I wouldn't want to overwrite that file in
the merge-repo in that case. That seems like it could be solved by
careful planning, though. :)
