That would allow you to fetch them all in one go. One annoying thing about this is that you may want to have several of the branches checked out at a time (i.e., you want the actual directory structure of libXrandr/, Xorg/, etc). You could pull everything down into one repo and point small pseudo-repos at it with alternates, but I would think that would become a mess with pushes. You can do some magic with read-tree --prefix, but again, I'm not sure how you'd make commits on the correct branch.
