Hm, that seems a bit to clever to me.  There might be lots of checkins
on branches before someone is ready to update the KGS.

That seems pretty intrusive to me.  I assume this would only apply to
packages in the ZTK.

I think I'd rather decouple management of individual projects from
management of the KGS.  I wonder what other people think.
