While it is a little off topic, it reminded me of the following. Wouldn't it be nice if we'd convert lots (most) PRs to automated tests which would then automatically be run against each and every commit...? I have used Aegis (http://aegis.sourceforge.net/) which explicitly supports this approach and found it very helpful. I understand that in e.g. cvs or hg something similar can be achieved using triggers or event hooks. Whatever the implementation, in my opinion it would be great to have a growing collection of tests and to ensure that the current version in the repository has passed all mandatory tests.
