When I get a commit message, I want to see: the author the log message the files changed the patch
I'd like all of these things collected by push: All the log messages All the files changed The patch The "git"ty things, like updating the master branch or commit sha1s aren't useful to me. If they are their, I think they should be minimized. The sha1s could be useful if they were links to a Web interface, like github.
