I don't see a functional difference between that above and a single server 
holding the code in shares (one share per dev server, for example), and both 
dev server and IDE system mounting a share. You would have to change nfs share 
to work with different code/branch, but now you changing IP of the NFS server 
anyway, so it is very similar. 

I do agree that this does not change the fact that there seem to be bigger 
issue. However changing the way you using NFS may give you working system now, 
instead of waiting for upstream to see this as an issue, which is not certain, 
and the fix it.
