Just think about a cron job that regularly updates my working directory
and that starts the very moment I am accessing the repository on the
terminal. 

I am not so much worried about the final state of my working directory
as about things getting lost or corrupted.

If for example I checkout the same module twice at the same time, will I
end up with a working copy of that module and correct meta information
that describes that very working copy, or will I end up with garbage
only?
