newbie - sharing some files in a repository

[Ken Halprin]

I'm a complete newbie here.just started reading docs and going through
tutorials yesterday.

 

I have a question about how to setup a set of repositories to handle a
situation like this. We have multiple projects (VS solutions) in a product.
Many of the projects share a set of files through a SourceSafe database. The
shared files are a set of c++ base class files. All the projects that share
those base class files also have their own specific derived class files
which aren't shared. The derived class files have the same name across all
the projects (ie, 'Derived.cpp') but contain code specific to the project.
This allows us to update/fix base class files in one place.

 

How can I create a similar structure using Mercurial repositories?

 

Thanks.
