This has long been a complaint of mine with the tools I've looked at.
I'd really like to be able to inform the tool, make local changes, then
check my changes back into the central repository, easily and without a
lot of fuss. Because, invariably, it takes more than one try to get a
particular configuration right and the iteration of "change in repo,
manually run tool to update host, reload server, see if it worked" is
frustratingly long--even if it's only 30 seconds or so.
