Yeah, I see now, I think I misunderstood where you wanted this...

Thats a good question. ;( I am not sure where would make sense.

Yeah, it's hard to remember things like this unless there's a reason
that brings it back up to your attention. Or... 

what if we had a reminder at each of the Alpha/Beta/Final website
points to make sure and do this. That wouldn't totally solve things,
but would sure help.

Yeah, it's just a matter of where to run it and have the access info
stored.

Not that I know of. If the user has commit, they have commit. You could
possibly do something with a hook, but it gets complex.

Happy to help. 

Not sure where it makes sense to do this... let me think on it and see
if we can come up with a solution. 

In the mean time we can do manual until we have something better in
place.
