At the moment, the repository pull daemon updates remotely hosted (git) repositories frequently based on the timestamp of the last commit. For active repositories, new commits are pulled in within minutes.
However, if we've not committed anything for a while, it can take a while before the repository is updated again. There is no way to initiate a pull from the web interface. As we often use "Closes TXXX" and "Ref TXXX" references in our commit messages, this can cause our task list to be outdated.
Suggested fix: add a "Update now" button to the view of remotely hosted repositories.
