Could anyone try to answer the question?
I'd really like to know, because it's crucial to my application.
I believe the reasons no-one answered your first mail are, in the
following order:
1. Since I'm sure you're truly capable of writing such an application
and finishing it before the git API has changed completely you should
have gotten your answers from trial-and-error, reading the source, or by
just trying the app and seeing where it fails.
2. You didn't say *why* you want to write a multi-threaded layer on top
of git. Is it to implement a redundant file-server with revision
control? If so you don't need multi-threading. You need clever update
hooks, a master repo and plenty of bandwidth with fast disks on the
file-servers.
3. You didn't mention what you've tried to find the answers yourself,
which makes me think you want me and the rest of us gitizens (yay! I
coined a phrase) do your homework for you. I personally find it very
rude that you send another email again so shortly after the first one
claiming that "you need this info for your app", when the 500-odd people
you're asking clearly need their time for their families, hobbies,
daytime jobs, beer, etc. etc...
4. Noone felt like answering since they saw no use for a multi-threaded
layer on top of git, especially without knowing what it was for.
Friendliness only goes so far when met by such lack of respect for other
peoples time, but if someone had seen the uses for the app you're
writing they probably would have taken time to at least ask you for some
of the answers you left out in your original mail. If nothing else for
the sake of curiosity.
Some more pointers on how to get answers to questions posted in online
forums can be found on the links below.

Btw. I'm assuming you're aware you'll have to GPL this app of yours,
since git is GPL and you'll be using the git produce in a way that makes
it vital to your app.
