But going back to what I said eariler, it'd be a pity if Buildroot
didn't help out with this.  Couldn't the VCS feature *use* the override
feature as well as adding some support for actually managing these
repositories?

Yes, and this is another reason simple symbolic links won't work,
unfortunately.
