Using existing cloned repository about git-dude HOT 4 CLOSED

Honestly, I'm not sure. I expect that git uses some lock to prevent data corruption in such scenario but I don't know if that happens.

You'd need to do some research on that topic.

Thanks for the answer, I did a quick google search but found nothing related.
I expect too that git uses some lock internally but having multiple actions acting on the same filesystem seems to be such an edge case that I am not sure it was even considered.

That said git is doing an impressive job to keep integrity, I never managed to corrupt any repositories until now.

According to this comment http://stackoverflow.com/questions/750765/concurrency-in-a-git-repo-on-a-network-shared-folder/751026#751026 you should be rather safe.

This one http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/concurrent-fetches-to-update-same-mirror-td5893458.html is particularly about concurrent git fetches and it seems nothing wrong should happen.

Nice findings, thanks for reporting them :)
Looks like it is really safe after all, i will give it a try then.
