Git hook to send email notification on repo changes

Another, more modern way to do this is with git-multimail, as suggested by Chords below.

This is how you did it in 2009.

You could add something like this to your post-receive hook in $GITDIR/hooks, or use the script in the contrib directory of the source (Available here)

Robin Sommer's git-notifier generates also very nice summaries in the following format:
