Yes, it's really slow, right now it takes 20 minutes. We are polling
github and svn right now, and the git plugin is too stupid to work
with multiple checkouts reliably, and believes every time something
has changed.

My idea would be a small improvement of the current situation, while
yours below certainly is better, but it needs to be done.
I'd love to join the efforts, but right now I can't even keep up with
mail traffic :-(
