As an aside - I find it better to send announce emails on git-push rather than git-commit. If you send an email on git-commit, then your working repository becomes a whole lot less useful. For example I often do: git commit -a -m "Shelve what I'm doing right now" git checkout -b temporary-branch HEAD^^^ vim fix-bug-that-I-never-want-anyone-to-see git checkout master git rebase temporary-branch git branch -d temporary-branch git reset HEAD^ Obviously this only works for commits I haven't pushed yet, but it's very useful to be able to do - usually I need it because I missed a git-add of a file out of a commit and didn't notice for a while. Once I'm happy with my local history, then I git-push to the shared repository and an email is generated to let other members of the team know I've done something - they can then git-fetch and review if they feel like it. To me, sending an email every commit would be like sending an email every time I pressed "save" in the editor. Andy -- Dr Andy Parkins, M Eng (hons), MIET andyparkins@gmail.com
