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.

the pair of "echo" statements seemed better.

FYI, I did this for glibc.git:

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