Currently, the format of the push notification emails is
(1) a highlevel overview of the push, for example:
mflatt has updated the `master' branch
from commit 895ca49f9c8b82fcc3f453b49e6b3938ecc1713a
to commit 5d6ae2b4b9cf00b96095cb86c68c9b61f0f573ce
(2) a "Change Summary" section that lists all the files that were
modified/created/renamed/deleted with the number of line changes
in the combination of all of these commits
(3) a listing of all of the commits, each one with the sha1, author,
date, log message and one-line stats
(4) an "Overall Diff" part which has the full diff (in the form of a
patch) for all of the commits.
Are there any comments on this layout? I can make some changes to
this, for example:
* Have the commits listed first (swap (2) and (3))
* Instead of (2), proivide that information next to each commit, for
the changes in that commit
* Also, each commit could be listed next to its own diff, instead of
one combined diff (which sounds like it can be too verbose)
* I thought about showing URLs for the web interface, but since
they're mostly going to be the same prefix with some sha1 at the
end, maybe it should include just a pointer to where the web
interface is
Opinions?
