It looks like you guys might benefit from my own project, gitbuilder:

   http://github.com/apenwarr/gitbuilder/

It does pretty much what you're describing (including a timeout), but
with a few added features:

 - you can build any program, not just wine, and test it using a shell
script of your choosing

 - you can run it as often as you want, and it'll build the latest
commit on *all* branches and tags

 - it avoids an unnecessary extra 'git clone' and uses 'git clean -fdx' instead

 - the test script can return a pass/fail exit code, and if it fails,
gitbuilder will automatically 'git bisect' to find the commit that
introduced the problem.

That last one is a huge benefit for our group, although of course if
your tests don't ever 100% pass, it's not as useful :(

Some example output for one of my company's projects:

Have fun,
