I did this for Mercurial repos by having a cron job polling the "CI" 
system and creating "$BUILDNUMBER-pass" / "...-fail" local tags for 
revisions. Not a perfect solution, but shows that it is "possible".

Another way could be to have a special user account that approve/reject 
tested revisions - perhaps by polling, perhaps by having the CI system 
connect through the API.
