I suspect that developers would be unhappy about something like that, 
although that might be a gut rather than reasoned reaction.

Possibly the simplest thing would be if checkins wrote a timestamp to a 
file in the branch/tag's root, that would mean that a client script 
could hold off if it saw (for example) that there was an update less 
than five minutes ago just in case it's part of a flurry of development 
activity.
