Yes, I think I might still be confused - I can't see how that would
work, as the server appears to be only capable of processing one request
at a time (unless I am badly mistaken). So while it is still processing
the hook from the sync request, it cannot process a new request for the
pull request. The result is deadlock, with the pull waiting for the
server socket to become available, but this will never happen until the
pull completes.
