I've recently started trying to use some of the scripts in "todo" to
send similar "What's cooking" messages, and started wondering if they
were what Junio actually used in production to send his notes.  For
example, the scripts don't work particularly well if the refs have
been packed.  So I had to make changes such as these so they would
work for me.

I was waiting for Junio to get back from vacation to ask if he was
interested in accepting such changes, and/or changes to make the
scripts more general purpose, and possibly useful for other projects.
