subrepos

Is it possible to create a mercurial repository inside an existing mercurial repository?

The idea is to handle subdirectories of a repository as different repositories, how do you do that?

I'm not talking about subrepos (at least, if I understood the purpose of subrepos...), but if this is how subrepos do exist for, I got it wrong and I'll try to get it right :)

Thanks ~Aki
