I'm having a hard time understanding this requirement.
You want to say that, before branch "<xxx>" gets created, you want
to verify that a branch named either "devel/<xxx>" or "releases/<xxx>"
does exist? And probably also that the commit in branch "<xxx>"
is already present in the branch that already exists?
IIUC, I think this one is highly specialized, and shoud be done
in the update-hook script. Would that be OK?
