I am not sure checkout operations are atomic. You do get all files at
a particular revision, but the checkout is not all or nothing. If some
error happens while checking out, it is aborted and you are left with
a partila working copy.
And if you are checking out from multiple repositories, it is quite
possible that you are not getting the snapshot from all repositories
at the very same time.
