Doing things the way you suggest means *anyone* who wanted to use our
repository, and also take changes from other repositories, would have to
run this incredibly expensive operation every time they wanted to run
the equivalent of cvs update to pick up changes from an upstream.
Or he could wait till we do that, which might be up to a week later
if we do it weekly. It isn't such a big deal -- and it is still better
than the present situation.
Anyway, I just suggested in another message a much more efficient solution.
