I just did "git diff" and "git status" (where the stuff > that "git commit" does falls out of the status changes) I wonder if there are other completely different parts of git that could benefit from multi threading when the work tree is on nfs? I'm thinking specifically of 'git checkout', since while testing this patch I happened to do a 'git pull' that resulted in several thousand new files being created, and the "Checking out files" part took *forever* to run. And FWIW, I timed 50 iterations of 'git diff', and the average runtime dropped from 11.7s to 2.8s after this patch. A nice improvement.
