Generally, yes, that's the model. A couple of pairs might decide,
for some reason, to combine their stuff.

As little time as possible. Ten minutes.

Occasionally. Each time is an "occasion" to reduce the chance of it
happening again. Common causes that I recall are:

  - someone integrated improperly before, left the system in an
  unknown broken state. (yes, I know that Jason's approach, or
  Cruise Control "fixes" this.)

  - something important on the local system wasn't transferred to
  the build system.

  - some conversion or migration code wasn't robust enough.

  - hardware differences weren't correctly accomodated.
