Probably wasn't the answer you were hoping for.

The idea makes sense to me now, it's more a matter of setting
expectations appropriately.  I'm not in a "we have to roll out new
builds in under 30 seconds" situation, so it's not a big deal to us
that the checkout & build take a little longer - we just fire off the
task and wait for the email to appear indicating the results.
