Hi Scott,
I'm looking into it. The big problem right now is the updates on all the
branches people have made on the server. As you say it gives updates for all
changes. I think we can turn that off for the moment so it only provides
emails for the trunk. I'm not sure how to improve the readability of the
actual messages though. I'd be open to any suggestions anyone has for better
email notification from git.
All the best
Ross
