Is that what you're asking? With this patch, do we still keep a separate machinery that bypasses the parallel thing altogether in the first place? I was hoping that the underlying parallel machinery is polished enough that using it with max=1 parallelism would be equivalent to serial execution. At least, that was my understanding of our goal, and back when we reviewed the previous "fetch --recurse-sub" series, my impression was we were already there. And in that ideal endgame world, your "Give '-j1' from the command line" would be perfectly an acceptable answer ;-).
