Not being entirely knowledgeable on what spawn() actually does and how

a decent "clone-lots-of-processes-and-multiplex-between-them" kind of 
library lying around. Would it be of any use?

 From the prototypes I've seen on spawn it doesn't seem to be much more 
than a fork() + execve(), either closing or dup2'ing all the 
file-descriptors, so I don't understand why that couldn't be implemented 
for git. Some pointers, anyone?

RTFM(posix_spawn)...
