Also, it would be lovely if you could share the code.
I'm a little fuzzy on what you're doing here (is it "push" or "pull"?)
but it seems like something that many other folks might be interested
in. I'd like to see it, if only to study it in terms of gathering
requirements.
As an aside, I'd like every command to have a parseable output mode; for
now, the command output is highly unstable, and we've been changing it
pretty regularly: just be warned :)
