The system I'm using for Kazan is using incremental builds on my local
machine combined with full from-scratch builds after every commit on a
separate server, that way everything gets thoroughly tested but I don't
have to wait several minutes for each local recompile. Once more people
work on the same git repo, we can switch to requiring the server build to
pass before merging into the main repo.
