Re: Are concurrent git operations on the same repo safe?

Sure, my office is still devoid of power, i'll have to get back to you
to be more precise but I was using a morally equivalent process to
https://gitlab.com/inorton/git-multi-sync

cd repo
python -m gitmultisync --update-submodules

where I had a superproject containing 5-6 submodules, some of which
were quite large (1-2Gb history)

Afterwards, I had trouble doing "git pull -r" in my submodules to pull
in newer changes.

Are concurrent git operations on the same repo safe?

[Ian Norton]

Hi all,

I'm generally used to the idea that if a thing is not marked as
"thread-safe" then it isn't thread safe, but I thought I'd ask anyway
to be sure.

Is it safe for me to do several operations with git concurrently on
the same local repo? Specifically I'm trying to speed up "git
submodule update" by doing several at the same time.  I've noticed
some odd side effects afterwards though when trying to commit changes
to my super project.

Apologies if this is answered elsewhere, my google-foo is weak today.

Many thanks

Ian
