+"""Example post-receive hook based on git-multimail.
+
+The simplest way to use git-multimail is to use the script
+git_multimail.py directly as a post-receive hook, and to configure it
+using Git's configuration files and command-line parameters.  You can
+also write your own Python wrapper for more advanced configurability,
+using git_multimail.py as a Python module.
+
+This script is a simple example of such a post-receive hook.  It is
+intended to be customized before use; see the comments in the script
+to help you get started.
+
+Using git-multimail as a Python module as done here provides more
+flexibility.  It has the following advantages:
+
+* The tool's behavior can be customized using arbitrary Python code,
+  without having to edit git_multimail.py.
+
+* Configuration settings can be read from other sources; for example,
+  user names and email addresses could be read from LDAP or from a
+  database.  Or the settings can even be hardcoded in the importing
+  Python script, if this is preferred.
+
+This script is a very basic example of how to use git_multimail.py as
+a module.  The comments below explain some of the points at which the
+script's behavior could be changed or customized.

+#mailer = git_multimail.SMTPMailer(

+#    #     smtpserver='mail.example.com:25'
+#    smtpserver='mail.example.com',
+#    )

+# OutputMailer is intended only for testing; it writes the emails to
+# the specified file stream.
