git-multimail: an improved replacement for post-receive-email
Add git-multimail, a tool for generating notification emails for pushes to a Git repository. It is largely plug-in compatible with post-receive-email, and is proposed to eventually replace that script. The advantages of git-multimail relative to post-receive-email are described in README.migrate-from-post-receive-email. git-multimail is organized in a directory contrib/hooks/multimail. The directory contains: * git_multimail.py -- a Python module that can generate notification emails for pushes to a Git repository. The file can be used directly as a post-receive script (configured via git config settings), or it can be imported as a Python module and configured via arbitrary Python code. * README -- user-level documentation for configuring and using git-multimail. * post-receive -- an example of building a post-receive script that imports git_multimail.py as a Python module, with an example of how to change the email templates. * README.migrate-from-post-receive-email -- documentation targeted at current users of post-receive-email, explaining the differences and how to migrate a post-receive-email configuration to git-multimail. * migrate-mailhook-config -- a script that can migrate a user's post-receive-email configuration options to the equivalent git-multimail options. * README.Git -- a short explanation of the relationship between git-multimail and the rest of the Git project, plus the exact date and revision when this version was taken from the upstream project. All but the last file are taken verbatim from the upstream git-multimail project. git-multimail is originally derived from post-receive-email and also incorporates suggestions from the mailing list as well as patches by the people listed below.
