It seems to me that there is some value to telling the user which files were changed, so I think we should avoid doing this on the gate. What if Cadmium provided a pull_merge_recommit command that combined the steps on the client side? Or what if there was a webpage which showed how many people have tried and failed to do pushes recently, so you could tell when the gate is idle? David
