I'm not sure exactly what you want to do.  In general a distributed
SCM like git is much better for pulling changes from one tree to
another.  So for example, it's easy to clone a kernel tree, check out
the v2.6.15 tag, and then pull from my infiniband.git tree to get only
the IB changes in a given branch.
