Perhaps some parallelism or commit-triggered bzr->git mirroring could  
help keep the delays down.  I don't think we need to get excessively  
clever unless it actually proves to be a problem, though.

Does the git protocol allow the server to send arbitrary messages for  
presentation to the user?  "Your patch is very important to us.   
Please stay on the line...." :-)

I think I'd rather have the interactive delay.  If it proves to be too  
much, I can simply bury that window and look at it later.
