Hello,

The included patch attempts to improve post-receive-email. It's a
trivial change, but one that helps us Gitolite users. Comments are
welcome, and this is my first attempt at contributing to the Git
project. Please keep me on CC as I'm not on the list.

Subject: [PATCH] contrib/hooks/post-receive-email: get description from repo.git/config

When getting the project description, we first try gitweb.description
entry in repo.git/config, but repo.git/description takes precedence if
it exists. This behaviour mimics that of Gitweb, and is what we want
when using Gitolite, which deletes repo.git/description upon repo
creation and rather maintains a gitweb.description entry in
repo.git/config if a description is configured.
