Yes that was true, but as my server sits idle most of the day and can
build/merge and push in 20 minutes, it matters not to me if it merges
twice a day or twice an hour. I have the cycles.

Anyway, if someone pushes before mine, like Phil does when he makes
LSR updates for instance, it chugs away as normal but then just says
someone else has already merged, and then waits for another couple of
hours.

Well I can lessen the rate if you like, just in case you ever had to
sort some mess out, but two hours seems a pretty useful window.
