Human types command, such as a checkin.  Human expects to see that the
state of the disply has changed as expected before doing the next thing.

There are lots of things I believe human do a computers that are buffered
action subroutines.  Sequences of version control operations are not among
them; as someone else pointed out, that's "slow" thinking.
