Nice! Can you try a server hook that will add an auto-increment number
from submodules commits?

Why? Assuming we don’t have branches, there was many mention that the id can be
computed from the number of commits in the history.

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.
