Yes that works, I was interpreting CLIENT_A as the repos name,
my mistake. However this does leave you checking out the
branches and tags which will be a lot of code to check out.

Yes that is exactly what you will have to do, which requires enough
disk space for multiple copies of your codebase.

A patch for this was just submitted and is going through review, so

If you could do a non-recursive checkout, you could check out just
the projects you were working on, without the branches or tags dir.
But doing this now leads to broken behavior, so you have to check out
everything.
