Does this do any good?
:0cw:lockfile_for_clone
* conditions_for_clone

code of clone

Okay, so the only easy way to report the status from a clone is to use
the obvious syntax. You're right David, that works just fine. You don't
even need the lockfile, just the 'w' and 'c' flags, and $? will contain
the exit status of the clone.
