waiting for changes (as part of or before hg pull)

Hi!

It would be great if instead of polling it would be possible to wait for 
incoming changes from a remote repository.

Perhaps this would work by the client openening a connection to the remote 
repo and call read(), and this read() would return data only when the remote 
repo had new changes.

The remote end could use notify if it is available, but even without notify 
at least this way it would not be necessary to make repeated network connections.

Thoughts?

Frank
