To be honest, I'm quite hesitant to adding any pre-receive hooks that
does any kind of non-trivial work. See, if pushing is slow due to that
hook people won't complain about the hook, they'll complain, to me,
that Gitorious is slow. That, and managing resources in a asynchronous
setup is far easier (I can run it on other machines if it's too
heavy).

So I'd think hard and long about whether that hook really is essential
at that particular point in your workflow?
