In principle you could checkout multiple items in one hit - not sure
why this is no longer available - but the directory they are checked
out into would be unversioned, so there is no way to use Update on it.
You would have to select all the versioned subdirectories and Update.

What would they need to commit? The Company folder in this case is
only there as a placeholder to hold the externals. There is nothing to
change.
