Multi-Repo Git Recovery Pattern
When bulk operations (pull/push) fail across multiple repos, diagnose each failure in parallel first. Common blockers: stale .git/index.lock files from crashed processes, diverged branches requiring merge-pulls, and untracked files conflicting with incoming changes. Kill any lingering git processes, remove stale locks, restore deleted symlinks/files, then retry. Use git add -A with force flags when needed to stage untracked files before merge operations.
