Could you perhaps do a test that does 10 git checkouts at once (real
ones, while things are updated and so on)? I think you might eventually
run into issues with the bandwidth between Red Hat NOC and Canonical
NOC.

If you see a bottleneck problem, please say so so that it can be worked
on at the same time as parallelizing jhbuild. E.g. there was a plan to
mirror git.gnome.org, but there are also a few GNOME servers @
Canonical that could be reused.
