Stopping the message there makes it sound like a polite way to say "a generic tool to allow you doing it on anything, not limited to Git, is already available, and a solution specific to Git is unwanted."

I wanted to follow up with something that says "The 'parallel' tool works in the meantime, but here are examples of very useful things that we would not be able to live without that 'parallel' wouldn't let us do, and we need a Git specific solution to obtain that", but I am coming up with empty, so perhaps indeed we do not want a Git specific solution ;-)
