I think Kevin R. is referring to a job that pull from tx regularly and
pushes it to the fedora-web.git repo. The idea is that the hourly website
build job wouldn't have to pull *all* the data from tx just the changed ones
from the other [tx pull commit to fedora-web.git] job. This would hopefully
make the build times faster.

We were able to do this commit process when Fedora was running their own TX
instance. Once it was upgraded that functionality disappeared.

Kevin F. I hope this clears a couple of things up.
