Subject: [PATCH] post-receive-email: hooks.showrev: show how to include both web link and patch
Date: Sat, 23 May 2009 14:26:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fxewc8e3.fsf@meyering.net> (raw)


Add a comment showing how to include a web link (i.e. gitweb/cgit)
and a patch in the email that is sent for each pushed commit.

The quoting was tricky enough that it's worth documenting.
At first I wanted to put \n\n in the printf, but to do
so would have meant using \\\\n\\\\n, and in the end,
the pair of "echo" statements seemed better.

FYI, I did this for glibc.git:
  http://sources.redhat.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;a=summary

push-triggered messages have been sent to this list since May 21:
