I think you're having a misconception there. Multiple Imports do not
create multiple branches unless you specify a different vendor branch
for every import (which you shouldn't).

I really don't get the fuss about the vendor branch. It's a mere
cosmeticality really. As soon as you start adding your own changes,
they will still be on the trunk.

There's simply too much power in the Import command that I would never
want to sacrifice just for the sake of getting a cleaner revision graph
- because that's pretty much the only thing you gain if you don't use
it.

Cheers,
