I do something close to this by using hooks: 


==< A snippit from my hook file:
if [ -e /home/jblack/NOHOOK ]; then
    echo "Not hooking because of NOHOOK";
    exit 0;
fi

case "$1" in
  commit)
    case "$ARCH_ARCHIVE" in 
      address@hidden)
        tla archive-mirror address@hidden
    esac
  ;;
esac


My hook file is actually a bit more complicated than that... for
example, on websites I have in arch, part of my hook actually ssh-es to
another machine and automatically replays.
