- Implement concurrent commit generation using ThreadPoolExecutor - Add configurable thread count via --max_threads flag (default: 4) - Integrate tqdm progress bar with graceful fallback - Add thread-safe git operations with locking mechanism - Include requirements.txt for dependency management
Add type ignore comment on line 80 where tqdm is called. The warning is a false positive since tqdm is only used when TQDM_AVAILABLE is True, meaning the import succeeded. The type checker cannot infer this runtime condition, so the ignore directive is necessary.

prepare commit data outside the lock and execute git add/commit sequentially to avoid repository corruption. Update README to clarify multithreading limitations and realistic performance expectations.
collect errors and count successful commits during multithreaded processing. Update progress indicators on failures, display a summary showing up to 10 errors, and exit with status 1 if any commits failed.
