Off the top of my head, object database access (e.g. things in .git/objects), refs updates (.git/refs) and .git/index should handle concurrent operations fine (or in the worst case you get "some operation is ongoing, aborted" and you need to try again but not corruption or anything else). I think we generally try to make it safe concurrently. > Specifically I'm trying to speed up "git > submodule update" by doing several at the same time.
