I consider this to be a minor design flaw. It is not good that the
pusher needs to watch asynchronous events and wait for the perfect time
in order to push without causing other parts of the build system to
fail. The system could be improved in the future to be robust enough to
handle this. Maybe it could detect this particular error and restart
the BuildRequires population from the beginning after a pause, maybe the
existence of a lockfile?
This is low priority to fix for now because it is easy to avoid now that
I know about the problem.
