+### Please describe the problem.
+
+I would like to make multiple copies of precious data and I would like these copies to run simultaneously to minimise the elapsed time taken.  Ideally, I would like to specy multiple `--to` options to `git annex copy`.  I have tried running multiple processes simultaneously by these start to fail with lock contention on `.git/config`.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Running four simultaneous `git annex copy --to=` commands.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+OS is debian jessie, using `git-annex-standalone` from NeuroDebian.

+### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
+
+Usng it regularly and like it - many thanks.  This is a wishlist item, not a bug, as far as I'm concerned.
