Well, you can solve the problem with any of them, only the methods
differ. I can think of a couple of approaches I might take.

Creating a label with the same root name as the client, and then
using that whenever the client was synced would be one. Maybe
enforcing things with a wrapper script that, given a client name,
always uses the associated label to sync with.

Or, as someone else suggested, use a branch dedicated to that client.
