 I am using the following hook to add an action after my custom post type
 has been published.

 add_action('publish_my-custom-post-type', 'my-function-on-publish');

 As it turns out, however, it's actually firing every time the post is
 updated, not just when it's published. According to the handbook, however,
 it should only fire when status changes TO published.

 PS: I'm seeing the same behavior with WordPress 3.9.X as well as 4.X
