When sendmail is reading an incoming message, by default it will
terminate it if it reads a dot on a line by itself.
The post-receive-email script can generate such a line if the
message in a tag object contains a dot ('.') on a line by itself.
There are two options to turn off this behavior, -i and -oi which
are equivalent.
The choice of which to use is based on the observation that -i
appears to be the more commonly used option for this and that all
current sendmail-compatible programs appear to accept both.
Therefore add the -i option to the invocations of /usr/sbin/sendmail
to avoid prematurely terminating the input message at the occurence
of a dot ('.') on a line by itself.

BTW, what is the status of post-receive-email?
I find it quite useful for a minimal server that only needs Git
binaries and a POSIX shell.
The only real issue with it I'm aware of is that if multiple
branch heads are updated in a single push and two or more
contain the same new revison(s), those revision(s) will be
incorrectly omitted from the emails sent out.
I have a patch to correct that, but it's not quite as simple
as this patch and would need more review, so I don't really
want to send it out and waste folks' time if there's no interest
in picking up updates to contrib/hooks/post-receive-email.
