If you were issuing emails for two branches, and one merged the other, you would get the same log messages appearing in two separate emails. e.g. A working repository, where the last push to central was done at the revision marked "B", after which two branches were developed further. * -- B -- 1 -- 1 -- M (branch1) \ / 2 -- 2 -- 2 (branch2) Now imagine that branch2 is pushed to the email-generating repository; an email containing all the "2" revisions would be sent. Now, let's say branch1 is pushed, the old update hook would run git-rev-list $newrev ^$baserev Where $newrev would be "M" and $baserev would be "B". This list includes all the "2" revisions as well as all the "1" revisions. This patch addresses this problem by using git-rev-parse --not --all | git-rev-list --stdin $newrev ^$baserev To inhibit the display of all revisions that are already in the repository.
