It does not have to be subprocess. Thomas Rast did some work on support multithread access to object db by basically replicating all datastructure per thread. If that work is complete, we have something like "odb container" that could be used to access objects from another repository and it won't contaminate the original odb. The same thing can be done for ref and index access. -- Duy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
