We have branches (release_nm) and we may want them to be in the same
sequential numbering.

So, I'm assuming this hook gets executed every time a new commit
arrives, but they're sub-modules, would they also notify the parents?

If this works in a trigger mode (every commit), not a timed basis
(every 5 minutes), then it could work well.

cheers,
