We in the chromium project have a keen interest in adding threading to
git in the pursuit of performance for lengthy operations (checkout,

performance walls when working with repositories the size of chromium

I have no comments about thread safety improvements (well, not yet).
If you have investigated about git performance on chromium
repositories, could you please sum it up? Threading may be an option
to improve performance, but it's probably not the only option.
