That's questionable, I can have a cron job that calls bzr pull in multiple directories. As for downloading something - of course you don't need to write the file yourself for it to be considered a user activity, but in case of a download the user does in fact request that specific file, unlike bzr where you're actually saying update this repository, you don't care about the individual files.

That's why I also don't really like this approach, you're increasing global relevancy of subjects you could have actually never worked with. (consider kernel-like bzr tree and the thousands of files when you do a single pull).
