It was initially written by Michael Haggerty as a greatly improved replacement for post-receive-email. Michael has been a great developer and reviewer for a while (and thanks again for that!), but lost personal interest in the tool a while ago, and asked me if I wanted to take over the maintainership when we met at Git Merge. We currently co-maintain the tool. I finally got some time to go through the pending pull-requests. I could close 19 PR, and we still have 10 pending. For more details about what happened recently, see the GitHub pulse [2]. Pleasant to look at :-). Other than fixes, we have the following new features in master: * When a single commit is pushed, omit the reference changed email. Set multimailhook.combineWhenSingleCommit to false to disable this new feature. * In gitolite environments, the pusher's email address can be used as the From address by creating a specially formatted comment block in gitolite.conf (see multimailhook.from in README). * Support for SMTP authentication/SSL was added, see smtpUser, smtpPass, smtpEncryption in README. * A new option scanCommitForCc was added to allow git-multimail to search the commit message for 'Cc: ...' lines, and add the corresponding emails in Cc. * If $USER is not set, use the variable $USERNAME. This is needed on Windows platform to recognize the pusher. * The emailPrefix variable can now be set to an empty string to remove the prefix. * A short tutorial was added in doc/gitolite.rst to set up git-multimail with gitolite. * The post-receive file was renamed to post-receive.example. It has always been an example (the standard way to call git-multimail is to call git_multimail.py), but it was unclear to many users. Next to review&merge on my TODO-list: * Add an option to show a graph of commits in addition to the log in the summary message [3]. * Allow filtering on refs, so that mails can be sent only when pushing to a subset of branches/tags/... [4]. I plan to tag a 1.1 release in June. Don't hesitate to join the fun and help by reviewing pull-requests or submitting new ones!
