Do I understand it correctly like this?

Standard branches have a merge hook.
The merge hook runs when commits are added to the branch.
(It is assumed that standard branches are not force pushed.)
The merge hook runs for every individual commit.
There is a limit that only 100 commits can be added at once,
to prevent system overloads caused by many merge hooks being ran at once.
