Normally, the relationship Project A uses Project B and Project C is
represented in a filesystem like:

    A/
    A/B
    A/C

This works nicely, as Project B and Project C can be tracked independently of A
merge_into_dir'd into A. 

If I understand correctly, in this case, if Project A wants to use Project B,
the filesystem looks like:

    B/
    B/A

This works, as monotone ignores subdirectories containing _MTN. So, the
workflow in this case is: 
    
    co B 
    cd B 
    co A (or setup A)

Monotone will do the right thing, and check things into the correct branch.
