I think a different way of handling database updates is a good idea
because it would remove the current serious chilling effect of
claiming a dbrev when we're not sure if we have booked enough time to
finish tidying, testing and sending (there's often some subtle bug
shows up on the final peer review, isn't there?).

Most systems running koha will have at least two depedency graph
solvers installed: make and git.  If we could harness one of those,
that would be brilliant.

Hope that helps,
