Add git-multimail, a tool for generating notification emails for
pushes to a Git repository. It is largely plug-in compatible with
post-receive-email, and is proposed to eventually replace that script.
The advantages of git-multimail relative to post-receive-email are
described in README.migrate-from-post-receive-email.
git-multimail is organized in a directory contrib/hooks/multimail.
The directory contains:
* git_multimail.py -- a Python module that can generate notification
emails for pushes to a Git repository. The file can be used
directly as a post-receive script (configured via git config
settings), or it can be imported as a Python module and configured
via arbitrary Python code.
* README -- user-level documentation for configuring and using
git-multimail.
* post-receive -- an example of building a post-receive script that
imports git_multimail.py as a Python module, with an example of how
to change the email templates.
* README.migrate-from-post-receive-email -- documentation targeted at
current users of post-receive-email, explaining the differences and
how to migrate a post-receive-email configuration to git-multimail.
* migrate-mailhook-config -- a script that can migrate a user's
post-receive-email configuration options to the equivalent
git-multimail options.
* README.Git -- a short explanation of the relationship between
git-multimail and the rest of the Git project, plus the exact date
and revision when this version was taken from the upstream project.
All but the last file are taken verbatim from the upstream
git-multimail project.
git-multimail is originally derived from post-receive-email and also
incorporates suggestions from the mailing list as well as patches by
the people listed below.
