On a machine with a lot of CPUs this prints a lot of useless lines of the form:
Cloning repo for thread <n>
Adjust the output so that these all appear on one line, and disappear when the cloning is complete.
Note: This cloning is actually unnecessary and very wasteful on disk space (about 3.5GB each time). It would be better to create symlinks.
When do we actually need to clone? Or why, even?
Each thread can check out a different commit. I think it might be possible to put the checkout in a separate thread so it can avoid contention. I'm not quite sure...
