No need. If the checkout succeeds, it is atomic; you will get a
working copy that is all at one revision. If the checkout fails,
update the working copy until it succeeds (in case of flaky network
of whatever), and then you also have a single-revision working copy.
Doesn't matter if others have committed other things in the mean
time. Subversion is very much designed for this.
