Just recently I've had another case of synchronized update of multiple repositories on develop.

Such situations appear more often than you think.
another case? Looking at this particular case I think "exceedingly rare" is still an accurate characterization.
With the example I posted, that makes two of your "exceedingly rare" cases in the last week.
All these cases relate to two coupled libraries. Regardless of questions about the wisdom and/or avoidability of such coupling, these examples aren't counter examples to my main point. In these examples, the correct action would be to checkout both coupled libraries, switch both to develop branch and update and run tests on those two (or three...) while leaving the other 125 libraries in master. Of course in this case they have to pushed and merged as a pair - because they're coupled. But it doesn't argue against my suggestion.
