I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are trying to achieve, but can you not simply use the date option in your supfile to make sure all systems run the exact same checkout? eg, adding something like date=2005.03.22.00.00.00 to your supfile on all the hosts? That way, it doesn't matter if you update your mirror, you'll still be getting the same checkout every time. Just make sure the date you specify is at least a few hours before your last checkout, otherwise you may miss some files which have been committed but which the mirrors between your client and the master sever haven't picked up yet.
