Some folks complained about the "flood" of emails for large pushes, but having separate mailing lists solved that. Others really appreciate the individual messages with full patches. It's a challenge to create one script that can satisfy all users, but IMHO this comes pretty close. > Thanks for asking.

I look forward to trying out your updates. One thing I had to do to the original script was override get_envelopesender() in GenericEnvironment to use $USER if hooks.envelopesender is not set. (This is what the old post-receive-email script does.) This script is one of a couple of things on my git back-burner. Hopefully things will settle down here soon and I'll be able to get back to some git hacking in the next few weeks.
