The current state of staging.  It does not test individually.

Nope, it bounces master to staging (or recommends doing it, depending on
what Graham did).

It tries doing so.  If parallel users try that, it will succeed for
every one of them unless someone is trying to push something older than
something that already got pushed.  Or if his version of staging has
been, in the mean time, replaced by something else that has been pushed
instead.
