Remove unused load_all param in _External.checkout().
Rename _External.checkout_externals() to checkout_subexternals(), to remove the ambiguity about whether the main external pointed to by the _External is itelf checked out (it is not)
Clarify load_all documentation - it’s always recursive, but applies different criteria at each level.
Rename variables in checkout.py (e.g. ext_description) to match the equivalent code in sourcetree.py.
