What changed
OpenAI published its account of Pando, a Git-compatible backend, on November 2. Increased agent activity turns repository infrastructure into a capacity question.
Why it matters
Parallel branches, automated experiments and frequent status checks can load systems in ways a human-only workflow did not. Before replacing infrastructure, measure where time is spent: checkout, object transfer, indexing, CI queues or review. Faster generation can move the bottleneck rather than remove it.
What to check next
Instrument a complete change from checkout to merge. Limit redundant clones and unbounded parallel jobs. Keep repository recovery procedures and branch protection independent of any agent. A backend described by another company is a design reference, not a requirement to rebuild your own stack.
