Hello, The included patch attempts to improve post-receive-email. It's a trivial change, but one that helps us Gitolite users. Comments are welcome, and this is my first attempt at contributing to the Git project. Please keep me on CC as I'm not on the list.

This behaviour mimics that of Gitweb, and is what we want when using Gitolite, which deletes repo.git/description upon repo creation and rather maintains a gitweb.description entry in repo.git/config if a description is configured.
