We're just using the contrib/hooks/post-receive-email script from
the upstream git.git repository.  The difference is that our Git
repository notifications are per-push, not per-commit.  One push
can contain many commits, and for us almost always contains at
least 2.  There is no good way to generate a subject line that
summarizes more than one commit.

It is possible to generate one message per commit, but that will
take further investigation someday.
