Cool. I didn't follow that route further than building a proof of
concept because I ran into a nasty DNS-timeout on my router at home
and at work we host all repos on a not-so-beefy server making parallel
fetch rather pointless. But I suspect this approach will bring down
fetch times for some users.

Maybe we could also re-use parallel fetch for multiple upstreams in
the superproject when doing a "git fetch --all" without too much
extra work?
