Description

If I try to clone or fetch multiple projects at the same it seems to fail silently sometimes, leaving the promise unresolved forever. I'm testing against a remote repo using the SSH protocol.

Research direction

Start by reproducing concurrent clone or fetch operations against an SSH remote and observe whether a promise remains unresolved. Trace the clone/fetch entry points and SSH-related handling in NodeGit, then compare concurrent and single-operation behavior. Done means failures are reported or operations complete rather than silently leaving promises unresolved.
