I'm trying to understand what you mean by "emulate". At the moment there is no
problem doing:

bzr checkout http://host/project
bzr checkout http://host/subproject project/subproject

However, "bzr status" and "bzr commit" will both not recurse into the subproject.

I believe Wouter van Heyst has taken over Aaron's work to enable "subtrees" such
that 'bzr status' and 'bzr commit' can track them. It is also designed such that
doing "bzr checkout project" would then check out "subproject" automatically.

I think the work is mostly done (the internals have been capable of representing
it for a while, we just needed the UI finished up). But I know Wouter has been
kept busy with Real-Life(tm) stuff for a while.
