If this is a workaround for the "race condition" where someone commits
to the repository while you are checking out these working copies, you
have only made the window smaller; you haven't eliminated the potential
race.

Does it work the first time, but not the subsequent times? If so, it's
probably because your first commit bumps the revision number of the
repository, causing the other working copies to be out-of-date. See the
reply I just wrote to someone else on this topic.
