There is no generic way to do this.  We have an svn-multi-fetch in 
(guix svn-download) that fetches named locations from an SVN 
repository, but there is no comparable feature for git-download.

The common way to do this is to add more origins to the 
native-inputs and place them where you need them to be in a build 
phase after 'unpack.
