I've looked around a bit more and stumbled upon Braid. It's a tool that automates vendor branches in Git. It can use Git or SVN repos.

By crawling through the source I found out that it uses the subtree strategy. And seems to make it really simple! Plus, it seems to fulfill all my requirements!

Before I jump in and use it: does anyone here have any experience with Braid? I would like to find out about possible cons if there are any. Also, if you haven't used Braid, but have some expertise in Git, what do you think about it, at first sight?
