Andrea,
Sounds good. I like the (above) process since it doesn't require me to
remember anything special, it just lets me know if something goes wrong.
I know of places in which the build triggers within 10 seconds of your

I also know of a place with quite a bit of complexity around commit
management, test status, etc. It's a good thing they pay me to deal with
it. :-)
