postcommit should be definition be run only once - after all the locks have 
been released on the repository and it's safe to do cvs operations again.

The module parameter is IIRC the last thing that was committed... it's not 
that useful in the general case, but that's not what postcommit is good at.

If you want to know everything that is committed build lists up using 
commitinfo/loginfo, then parse them later.
