When a nexus2 repo is promoted from staging there are sometimes background activities that nexus does before the repo can be closed out. To the best of our knowledge, there is no way to determine the state of these background tasks. 

See if it's possible to determine the state, and if not, develop a method to long-poll nexus2 in a reasonable manner.
