Description
A customer noticed that it was taking a long time for her many VFS4G clones to get mounted. Upon inspection of the log file, we try mounting repos sequentially.
We should be able to do this in parallel, which will be a UX win for users who have many clones on their machines.

Research direction
Start by locating the Windows AutoMount implementation and tracing how it currently mounts each VFS4G clone. Confirm how mounting progress is logged and identify existing tests or validation steps. Done means repositories are mounted in parallel rather than sequentially, with behavior verified for machines containing many clones.
