Why don't you just commit the changes even if you don't know yet whether they
build? Especially for a small package where you're the sole maintainer, it
won't really matter if CVS HEAD isn't always buildable.
For better or for worse, you'll also notice that many maintainers with many
packages won't even bother building locally first, we usually just commit, tag
and build, and after we get the failure mail from Koji, fix, commit, force-tag
and resubmit, and repeat that until the build succeeds. Decentralized commits
don't help with that at all (they only add an extra "push" step after the
commit, which is just one more chance to screw up).
