Greetings,

Cloning huge repositories like Linux kernel takes considerable amount of time. Is it possible to incorporate a multi-threaded simultaneous connections functionality for cloning? To what extent do we need to change the architecture of the current code and how large would be the scope of the work? That just seems an interesting idea to me and would liked to share it with the community.

Regards
