I've always found that a very important part of receiving email notification of commits is being able to read the diff inline, easily, where I can reply and quote the diff and make comments. It's similar to the reason patches sent to the Git mailing list need to be inline, not attachments. Since post-receive-email didn't have that option, I added it as a boolean config variable, hooks.emaildiff. --- contrib/hooks/post-receive-email | 13 +++++++++++-- 1 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email b/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email index 4136895..07351cc 100644 --- a/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email +++ b/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email @@ -38,6 +38,9 @@ # hooks.emailprefix # All emails have their subjects prefixed with this prefix, or "[SCM]" # if emailprefix is unset, to aid filtering +# hooks.emaildiff +# If set, then a full diff of changes is sent in addition to the default +# summary output. # # Notes # ----- @@ -410,8 +413,13 @@ generate_update_branch_email() # - including the undoing of previous revisions in the case of # non-fast forward updates. echo "" - echo "Summary of changes:" - git diff-tree --stat --summary --find-copies-harder $oldrev..$newrev + if [ -n "$emaildiff" ]; then + echo "Summary of changes and diff:" + git diff-tree --find-copies-harder --stat --summary -p $oldrev..$newrev + else + echo "Summary of changes:" + git diff-tree --find-copies-harder --stat --summary $oldrev..$newrev + fi } # @@ -627,6 +635,7 @@ recipients=$(git config hooks.mailinglist) announcerecipients=$(git config hooks.announcelist) envelopesender=$(git config hooks.envelopesender) emailprefix=$(git config hooks.emailprefix || echo '[SCM] ') +emaildiff=$(git config hooks.emaildiff) # --- Main loop # Allow dual mode: run from the command line just like the update hook, or -- 1.6.0.rc2.2.gd827 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
