Hi Greg,
   Thank you for the insightful response. We have multiple automated
clients pushing and pulling changes from git as events occur. We have
not hit any real performance issues just yet. Our main goal is to
improve the availability of the repository in case the box running the
apache server has an outage during a mission critical period. Any
other ideas on how to accomplish this? From your remarks, it sounds
like putting the git repository on NFS, even with a single client, can
be problematic due to the locking issues. Is that what you meant?

   I am still interested in knowing if git can handle multiple
simultaneous pushes on the same repository without encountering
corruption issues. Thank you.
