Subject: [PATCH] Add option hooks.emaildiff to include full diff in post-receive-email.

From: Jon Jensen <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 15:01:31 -0600

I've always found that a very important part of receiving email
notification of commits is being able to read the diff inline,
easily, where I can reply and quote the diff and make comments.
It's similar to the reason patches sent to the Git mailing list
need to be inline, not attachments.

Since post-receive-email didn't have that option, I added it as a
boolean config variable, hooks.emaildiff.
