Subject: git submodule, multi-threading the update process for large number of registered submodules
Message-ID: <CAK9Skq_-cidRHrbVNgJqoV3nYCxRNDO6vTifOJRUFKaWEZyzkw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Git community

Is there any way to run "git submodule update" in multiple threads?

The use case:
-------------------
"git submodule update" seems to be inefficient when running
sequentially on a large .gitmodules file.
Assuming a git forest with over 7K gits it takes hours to complete the
update (running on Windows+Cygwin)


If not supported, this feature could be a good candidate for "git
submodule" enhancement.
What is your opinion or advice?

Thanks and regards

José
