the above is the way it should work but I'm not certain it is all 
working the way you describe yet, specifically with the way we are 
exposing the cloned repos to include the environment in the path.

what we need to make sure we do is to set the relativepath field on the 
repos to include the environment:

  --relativepath=RELATIVE_PATH
                         relative path where the repository is stored and
                         exposed to clients; this defaults to feed path 
if not
                         specified (repository must be empty)
