Hi Tom, just food for thought but another option would be a cron task that pulls the repos and runs that if there's a change. That's what I do for stem's website so it reflects the changes I push.
I think that's a good model for webpages-backed-by-git, but less so for integration/software testing.
I could probably rig something up like that locally, but I'd have to make it detect a crash and email me. The advantage of jenkins is it will do that automatically, on infrastructure I don't have to worry about maintaining[0], as well as making the crash details public. There's a chance it might even detect a break in stem.

[0] A problem I've had a lot is that my 'email me stuff' scripts will stop emailing... and I never find out they're failing!
