I hope not. I was imagining some special command that would pull in a
branch marking it in some way as imported for the purpose of
merge_into_dir.
Maybe that wouldn't work, though. On the whole I suspect it'll be
cleaner to bit the bullet and devise some way to partition databases
such that you can have more than one trust seed. I don't know,
though.
Maybe it's better to try things: start by implementing just the one
trust seed per database scheme, and see how that works out?
