Well I wouldn't recommend scripting a loop, but at the moment I'm only 
really interested in 500 errors that are persistent - ie a changeset 
that always produces a 500 when uploaded. That will generally indicate a 
coding error on the server.

Intermittent 500s are generally the results of timeouts, memory leaks, 
stuck daemons, etc (which are all inter-related anyway) and as such are 
not very interesting in and of themselves.
