This is indeed not the normal usage.
Doing it not once for every commit has the advantage that it can't overload 
the machine which is running the build.
If we set up a continuous build for several KDE modules/repositories on one 
server, not overloading it will be an issue.

Beside that, I don't know if/how this could be achieved.
I'd suggest you ask on the cmake list directly.
