As long as you're merging subsets into supersets, you shouldn't have to
deal with any merge bogosities, except for the first merge.

If you can set up your directories so that each owner controls a
different subdirectory, then you can use nested-by-reference trees for
this, e.g.

/project/ <- containing tree
/project/developer <- subtree
/project/publish <- subtree

With this set-up, commits in /project will also affect /project/publish
and /project/developer, but you can "publish" /project/publish separately.

I'm not in favour of it.
