Currently, yes. With nested branches, the checkout will be implicit.

In my experience, people who actually write tests (unless there's a
firm requirement that tests be submitted before committing) are hard
to discourage. The only job programmers like less than writing tests
is writing docs. :-)
The real problem is getting those tests backported.

Which still requires serious developers to have multiple checkouts.
