The only redeeming feature in AccuRev was the ability to an use
inheritance for files in streams (nearly analogous to branches). While
this idea in the SCM world sounds strange, is there anything in git land
that could mimic this sort of behavior?

In case, "inheritance for files..." isn't clear, what I would like to
accomplish is: have a branch "parent" with multiple "children" branches
(which may have descendents of their own). If a file is committed to the
parent branch, then the all the descendents would receive the same
update without manually cherry-picking the commit across all the
branches.
