If I have multiple local git repos, and I run `git status -v` on them, sometimes I don't get any stdout for the command. This is highly reproducible.

I assume that access more than 1 git repo concurrently on a local machine is not without errors. However this seems like a huge limitation or design flaw.

Is my observation correct? Are there any plans to remove this limitation?

My use case - I create a lot of developer tools and more than once I have hit this limitation...I have to create a queue with concurrency of 1 to run commands on git repos. It's very strange and counterintuitive to have to do this.
