I am doing something very like this, using some bash and perl scripts.  
The scripts are still evolving, and are peculiar to my own situation, 
with hardcoded repositories, module names, tags, and so forth.  The 
only documentation is the scripts themselves.  Nevertheless, if you 
are interested in them, I can send you a copy.  If you can imagine a 
way to make the scripts more widely useful, I am willing to apply GPL 
to them.
