+Release 1.5.0
+=============
+
+Backward-incompatible change
+----------------------------
+
+The name of classes for environment was misnamed as `*Environement`.
+It is now `*Environment`.
+
+New features
+------------
+
+* A Thread-Index header is now added to each email sent (except for
+  combined emails where it would not make sense), so that MS Outlook
+  properly groups messages by threads even though they have a
+  different subject line. Unfortunately, even adding this header the
+  threading still seems to be unreliable, but it is unclear whether
+  this is an issue on our side or on MS Outlook's side (see discussion
+  here: https://github.com/git-multimail/git-multimail/pull/194).
+
+* A new variable multimailhook.ExcludeMergeRevisions was added to send
+  notification emails only for non-merge commits.
+
+* For gitolite environment, it is now possible to specify the mail map
+  in a separate file in addition to gitolite.conf, using the variable
+  multimailhook.MailaddressMap.
+
+Internal changes
+----------------
+
+* The testsuite now uses GIT_PRINT_SHA1_ELLIPSIS where needed for
+  compatibility with recent Git versions. Only tests are affected.
+
+* We don't try to install pyflakes in the continuous integration job
+  for old Python versions where it's no longer available.
+
+* Stop using the deprecated cgi.escape in Python 3.
+
+* New flake8 warnings have been fixed.
+
+* Python 3.6 is now tested against on Travis-CI.
+
+* A bunch of lgtm.com warnings have been fixed.
+
+Bug fixes
+---------
+
+* SMTPMailer logs in only once now. It used to re-login for each email
+  sent which triggered errors for some SMTP servers.
+
+* migrate-mailhook-config was broken by internal refactoring, it
+  should now work again.
+
+This version was tested with Python 2.6 to 3.7. It was tested with Git
+1.7.10.406.gdc801, 2.15.1 and 2.20.1.98.gecbdaf0.
+
+Release 1.4.0
+=============
+
+New features to troubleshoot a git-multimail installation
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+* One can now perform a basic check of git-multimail's setup by
+  running the hook with the environment variable
+  GIT_MULTIMAIL_CHECK_SETUP set to a non-empty string. See
+  doc/troubleshooting.rst for details.
+
+* A new log files system was added. See the multimailhook.logFile,
+  multimailhook.errorLogFile and multimailhook.debugLogFile variables.
+
+* git_multimail.py can now be made more verbose using
+  multimailhook.verbose.
+
+* A new option --check-ref-filter is now available to help debugging
+  the refFilter* options.
+
+Formatting emails
+-----------------
+
+* Formatting of emails was made slightly more compact, to reduce the
+  odds of having long subject lines truncated or wrapped in short list
+  of commits.
+
+* multimailhook.emailPrefix may now use the '%(repo_shortname)s'
+  placeholder for the repository's short name.
+
+* A new option multimailhook.subjectMaxLength is available to truncate
+  overly long subject lines.
+
+Bug fixes and minor changes
+---------------------------
+
+* Options refFilterDoSendRegex and refFilterDontSendRegex were
+  essentially broken. They should work now.
+
+* The behavior when both refFilter{Do,Dont}SendRegex and
+  refFilter{Exclusion,Inclusion}Regex are set have been slightly
+  changed. Exclusion/Inclusion is now strictly stronger than
+  DoSend/DontSend.
+
+* The management of precedence when a setting can be computed in
+  multiple ways has been considerably refactored and modified.
+  multimailhook.from and multimailhook.reponame now have precedence
+  over the environment-specific settings ($GL_REPO/$GL_USER for
+  gitolite, --stash-user/repo for Stash, --submitter/--project for
+  Gerrit).
+
+* The coverage of the testsuite has been considerably improved. All
+  configuration variables now appear at least once in the testsuite.
+
+This version was tested with Python 2.6 to 3.5. It also mostly works
+with Python 2.4, but there is one known breakage in the testsuite
+related to non-ascii characters. It was tested with Git
+1.7.10.406.gdc801, 1.8.5.6, 2.1.4, and 2.10.0.rc0.1.g07c9292.
+
+Release 1.3.1 (bugfix-only release)
+===================================
+
+* Generate links to commits in combined emails (it was done only for
+  commit emails in 1.3.0).
+
+* Fix broken links on PyPi.
+
+Release 1.3.0
+=============
+
+* New options multimailhook.htmlInIntro and multimailhook.htmlInFooter
+  now allow using HTML in the introduction and footer of emails (e.g.
+  for a more pleasant formatting or to insert a link to the commit on
+  a web interface).
+
+* A new option multimailhook.commitBrowseURL gives a simpler (and less
+  flexible) way to add a link to a web interface for commit emails
+  than multimailhook.htmlInIntro and multimailhook.htmlInFooter.
+
+* A new public function config.add_config_parameters was added to
+  allow custom hooks to set specific Git configuration variables
+  without modifying the configuration files. See an example in
+  post-receive.example.
+
+* Error handling for SMTP has been improved (we used to print Python
+  backtraces for legitimate errors).
+
+* The SMTP mailer can now check TLS certificates when the newly added
+  configuration variable multimailhook.smtpCACerts.
+
+* Python 3 portability has been improved.
+
+* The documentation's formatting has been improved.
+
+* The testsuite has been improved (we now use pyflakes to check for
+  errors in the code).
+
+This version has been tested with Python 2.4 and 2.6 to 3.5, and Git
+v1.7.10-406-gdc801e7, 2.1.4 and 2.8.1.339.g3ad15fd.
+
+No change since 1.3 RC1.
+
+Release 1.2.0
+=============
+
+* It is now possible to exclude some refs (e.g. exclude some branches
+  or tags). See refFilterDoSendRegex, refFilterDontSendRegex,
+  refFilterInclusionRegex and refFilterExclusionRegex.
+
+* New commitEmailFormat option which can be set to "html" to generate
+  simple colorized diffs using HTML for the commit emails.
+
+* git-multimail can now be ran as a Gerrit ref-updated hook, or from
+  Atlassian BitBucket Server (formerly known as Atlassian Stash).
+
+* The From: field is now more customizeable. It can be set
+  independently for refchange emails and commit emails (see
+  fromCommit, fromRefChange). The special values pusher and author can
+  be used in these configuration variable.
+
+* A new command-line option, --version, was added. The version is also
+  available in the X-Git-Multimail-Version header of sent emails.
+
+* Set X-Git-NotificationType header to differentiate the various types
+  of notifications. Current values are: diff, ref_changed_plus_diff,
+  ref_changed.
+
+* Preliminary support for Python 3. The testsuite passes with Python 3,
+  but it has not received as much testing as the Python 2 version yet.
+
+* Several encoding-related fixes. UTF-8 characters work in more
+  situations (but non-ascii characters in email address are still not
+  supported).
+
+* The testsuite and its documentation has been greatly improved.
+
+Plus all the bugfixes from version 1.1.1.
+
+This version has been tested with Python 2.4 and 2.6 to 3.5, and Git
+v1.7.10-406-gdc801e7, git-1.8.2.3 and 2.6.0. Git versions prior to
+v1.7.10-406-gdc801e7 probably work, but cannot run the testsuite
+properly.
+
+Release 1.1.1 (bugfix-only release)
+===================================
+
+* The SMTP mailer was not working with Python 2.4.
+
+Release 1.1.0
+=============
+
+* When a single commit is pushed, omit the reference changed email.
+  Set multimailhook.combineWhenSingleCommit to false to disable this
+  new feature.
+
+* In gitolite environments, the pusher's email address can be used as
+  the From address by creating a specially formatted comment block in
+  gitolite.conf (see multimailhook.from in README).
+
+* Support for SMTP authentication and SSL/TLS encryption was added,
+  see smtpUser, smtpPass, smtpEncryption in README.
+
+* A new option scanCommitForCc was added to allow git-multimail to
+  search the commit message for 'Cc: ...' lines, and add the
+  corresponding emails in Cc.
+
+* If $USER is not set, use the variable $USERNAME. This is needed on
+  Windows platform to recognize the pusher.
+
+* The emailPrefix variable can now be set to an empty string to remove
+  the prefix.
+
+* A short tutorial was added in doc/gitolite.rst to set up
+  git-multimail with gitolite.
+
+* The post-receive file was renamed to post-receive.example. It has
+  always been an example (the standard way to call git-multimail is to
+  call git_multimail.py), but it was unclear to many users.
+
+* A new refchangeShowGraph option was added to make it possible to
+  include both a graph and a log in the summary emails.  The options
+  to control the graph formatting can be set via the new graphOpts
+  option.
+
+* New option --force-send was added to disable new commit detection
+  for update hook. One use-case is to run git_multimail.py after
+  running "git fetch" to send emails about commits that have just been
+  fetched (the detection of new commits was unreliable in this mode).
+
+* The testing infrastructure was considerably improved (continuous
+  integration with travis-ci, automatic check of PEP8 and RST syntax,
+  many improvements to the test scripts).
+
+This version has been tested with Python 2.4 to 2.7, and Git 1.7.1 to
+2.4.
+
+Release 1.0.0
+=============
+
+* Fix encoding of non-ASCII email addresses in email headers.
+
+* Fix backwards-compatibility bugs for older Python 2.x versions.
+
+* Fix a backwards-compatibility bug for Git 1.7.1.
+
+* Add an option commitDiffOpts to customize logs for revisions.
+
+* Pass "-oi" to sendmail by default to prevent premature termination
+  on a line containing only ".".
+
+* Stagger email "Date:" values in an attempt to help mail clients
+  thread the emails in the right order.
+
+* If a mailing list setting is missing, just skip sending the
+  corresponding email (with a warning) instead of failing.
+
+* Add a X-Git-Host header that can be used for email filtering.
+
+* Allow the sender's fully-qualified domain name to be configured.
+
+* Minor documentation improvements.
+
+* Add this CHANGES file.
+
+
+Release 0.9.0
+=============
+
+* Initial release.

+Help needed: testers/maintainer for specific environments/OS
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The current maintainer uses and tests git-multimail on Linux with the
+Generic environment. More testers, or better contributors are needed
+to test git-multimail on other real-life setups:
+
+* Mac OS X, Windows: git-multimail is currently not supported on these
+  platforms. But since we have no external dependencies and try to
+  write code as portable as possible, it is possible that
+  git-multimail already runs there and if not, it is likely that it
+  could be ported easily.
+
+  Patches to improve support for Windows and OS X are welcome.
+  Ideally, there would be a sub-maintainer for each OS who would test
+  at least once before each release (around twice a year).
+
+* Gerrit, Stash, Gitolite environments: although the testsuite
+  contains tests for these environments, a tester/maintainer for each
+  environment would be welcome to test and report failure (or success)
+  on real-life environments periodically (here also, feedback before
+  each release would be highly appreciated).

+git-multimail is close to, but not exactly, a plug-in replacement for
+the old Git project script contrib/hooks/post-receive-email.  This
+document describes the differences and explains how to configure
+git-multimail to get behavior closest to that of post-receive-email.
+
+If you are in a hurry
+=====================
+
+A script called migrate-mailhook-config is included with
+git-multimail.  If you run this script within a Git repository that is
+configured to use post-receive-email, it will convert the
+configuration settings into the approximate equivalent settings for
+git-multimail.  For more information, run
+
+    migrate-mailhook-config --help
+
+
+Configuration differences
+=========================
+
+* The names of the config options for git-multimail are in namespace
+  "multimailhook.*" instead of "hooks.*".  (Editorial comment:
+  post-receive-email should never have used such a generic top-level
+  namespace.)
+
+* In emails about new annotated tags, post-receive-email includes a
+  shortlog of all changes since the previous annotated tag.  To get
+  this behavior with git-multimail, you need to set
+  multimailhook.announceshortlog to true:
+
+      git config multimailhook.announceshortlog true
+
+* multimailhook.commitlist -- This is a new configuration variable.
+  Recipients listed here will receive a separate email for each new
+  commit.  However, if this variable is *not* set, it defaults to the
+  value of multimailhook.mailinglist.  Therefore, if you *don't* want
+  the members of multimailhook.mailinglist to receive one email per
+  commit, then set this value to the empty string:
+
+      git config multimailhook.commitlist ''
+
+* multimailhook.emailprefix -- If this value is not set, then the
+  subjects of generated emails are prefixed with the short name of the
+  repository enclosed in square brackets; e.g., "[myrepo]".
+  post-receive-email defaults to prefix "[SCM]" if this option is not
+  set.  So if you were using the old default and want to retain it
+  (for example, to avoid having to change your email filters), set
+  this variable explicitly to the old value:
+
+      git config multimailhook.emailprefix "[SCM]"
+
+* The "multimailhook.showrev" configuration option is not supported.
+  Its main use is obsoleted by the one-email-per-commit feature of
+  git-multimail.
+
+
+Other differences
+=================
+
+This section describes other differences in the behavior of
+git-multimail vs. post-receive-email.  For full details, please refer
+to the main README file:
+
+* One email per commit.  For each reference change, the script first
+  outputs one email summarizing the reference change (including
+  one-line summaries of the new commits), then it outputs a separate
+  email for each new commit that was introduced, including patches.
+  These one-email-per-commit emails go to the addresses listed in
+  multimailhook.commitlist.  post-receive-email sends only one email
+  for each *reference* that is changed, no matter how many commits
+  were added to the reference.
+
+* Better algorithm for detecting new commits.  post-receive-email
+  processes one reference change at a time, which causes it to fail to
+  describe new commits that were included in multiple branches.  For
+  example, if a single push adds the "*" commits in the diagram below,
+  then post-receive-email would never include the details of the two
+  commits that are common to "master" and "branch" in its
+  notifications.
+
+      o---o---o---*---*---*    <-- master
+                       \
+                        *---*  <-- branch
+
+  git-multimail analyzes all reference modifications to determine
+  which commits were not present before the change, therefore avoiding
+  that error.
+
+* In reference change emails, git-multimail tells which commits have
+  been added to the reference vs. are entirely new to the repository,
+  and which commits that have been omitted from the reference
+  vs. entirely discarded from the repository.
+
+* The environment in which Git is running can be configured via an
+  "Environment" abstraction.
+
+* Built-in support for Gitolite-managed repositories.
+
+* Instead of using full SHA1 object names in emails, git-multimail
+  mostly uses abbreviated SHA1s, plus one-line log message summaries
+  where appropriate.
+
+* In the schematic diagrams that explain non-fast-forward commits,
+  git-multimail shows the names of the branches involved.
+
+* The emails generated by git-multimail include the name of the Git
+  repository that was modified; this is convenient for recipients who
+  are monitoring multiple repositories.
+
+* git-multimail allows the email "From" addresses to be configured.
+
+* The recipients lists (multimailhook.mailinglist,
+  multimailhook.refchangelist, multimailhook.announcelist, and
+  multimailhook.commitlist) can be comma-separated values and/or
+  multivalued settings in the config file; e.g.,
+
+      [multimailhook]
+              mailinglist = mr.brown@example.com, mr.black@example.com
+              announcelist = Him <him@example.com>
+              announcelist = Jim <jim@example.com>
+              announcelist = pop@example.com
+
+  This might make it easier to maintain short recipients lists without
+  requiring full-fledged mailing list software.
+
+* By default, git-multimail sets email "Reply-To" headers to reply to
+  the pusher (for reference updates) and to the author (for commit
+  notifications).  By default, the pusher's email address is
+  constructed by appending "multimailhook.emaildomain" to the pusher's
+  username.
+
+* The generated emails contain a configurable footer.  By default, it
+  lists the name of the administrator who should be contacted to
+  unsubscribe from notification emails.
+
+* New option multimailhook.emailmaxlinelength to limit the length of
+  lines in the main part of the email body.  The default limit is 500
+  characters.
+
+* New option multimailhook.emailstrictutf8 to ensure that the main
+  part of the email body is valid UTF-8.  Invalid characters are
+  turned into the Unicode replacement character, U+FFFD.  By default
+  this option is turned on.
+
+* Written in Python.  Easier to add new features.

+git-multimail version 1.5.0
+===========================
+
+.. image:: https://travis-ci.org/git-multimail/git-multimail.svg?branch=master
+    :target: https://travis-ci.org/git-multimail/git-multimail
+
+git-multimail is a tool for sending notification emails on pushes to a
+Git repository.  It includes a Python module called ``git_multimail.py``,
+which can either be used as a hook script directly or can be imported
+as a Python module into another script.
+
+git-multimail is derived from the Git project's old
+contrib/hooks/post-receive-email, and is mostly compatible with that
+script.  See README.migrate-from-post-receive-email for details about
+the differences and for how to migrate from post-receive-email to
+git-multimail.
+
+git-multimail, like the rest of the Git project, is licensed under
+GPLv2 (see the COPYING file for details).
+
+Please note: although, as a convenience, git-multimail may be
+distributed along with the main Git project, development of
+git-multimail takes place in its own, separate project.  Please, read
+`<CONTRIBUTING.rst>`__ for more information.
+
+
+By default, for each push received by the repository, git-multimail:
+
+1. Outputs one email summarizing each reference that was changed.
+   These "reference change" (called "refchange" below) emails describe
+   the nature of the change (e.g., was the reference created, deleted,
+   fast-forwarded, etc.) and include a one-line summary of each commit
+   that was added to the reference.
+
+2. Outputs one email for each new commit that was introduced by the
+   reference change.  These "commit" emails include a list of the
+   files changed by the commit, followed by the diffs of files
+   modified by the commit.  The commit emails are threaded to the
+   corresponding reference change email via "In-Reply-To".  This style
+   (similar to the "git format-patch" style used on the Git mailing
+   list) makes it easy to scan through the emails, jump to patches
+   that need further attention, and write comments about specific
+   commits.  Commits are handled in reverse topological order (i.e.,
+   parents shown before children).  For example::
+
+     [git] branch master updated
+     + [git] 01/08: doc: fix xref link from api docs to manual pages
+     + [git] 02/08: api-credentials.txt: show the big picture first
+     + [git] 03/08: api-credentials.txt: mention credential.helper explicitly
+     + [git] 04/08: api-credentials.txt: add "see also" section
+     + [git] 05/08: t3510 (cherry-pick-sequence): add missing '&&'
+     + [git] 06/08: Merge branch 'rr/maint-t3510-cascade-fix'
+     + [git] 07/08: Merge branch 'mm/api-credentials-doc'
+     + [git] 08/08: Git 1.7.11-rc2
+
+   By default, each commit appears in exactly one commit email, the
+   first time that it is pushed to the repository.  If a commit is later
+   merged into another branch, then a one-line summary of the commit
+   is included in the reference change email (as usual), but no
+   additional commit email is generated. See
+   `multimailhook.refFilter(Inclusion|Exclusion|DoSend|DontSend)Regex`
+   below to configure which branches and tags are watched by the hook.
+
+   By default, reference change emails have their "Reply-To" field set
+   to the person who pushed the change, and commit emails have their
+   "Reply-To" field set to the author of the commit.
+
+3. Output one "announce" mail for each new annotated tag, including
+   information about the tag and optionally a shortlog describing the
+   changes since the previous tag.  Such emails might be useful if you
+   use annotated tags to mark releases of your project.
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+* Python 2.x, version 2.4 or later.  No non-standard Python modules
+  are required.  git-multimail has preliminary support for Python 3
+  (but it has been better tested with Python 2).
+
+* The ``git`` command must be in your PATH.  git-multimail is known to
+  work with Git versions back to 1.7.1.  (Earlier versions have not
+  been tested; if you do so, please report your results.)
+
+* To send emails using the default configuration, a standard sendmail
+  program must be located at '/usr/sbin/sendmail' or
+  '/usr/lib/sendmail' and must be configured correctly to send emails.
+  If this is not the case, set multimailhook.sendmailCommand, or see
+  the multimailhook.mailer configuration variable below for how to
+  configure git-multimail to send emails via an SMTP server.
+
+* git-multimail is currently tested only on Linux. It may or may not
+  work on other platforms such as Windows and Mac OS. See
+  `<CONTRIBUTING.rst>`__ to improve the situation.
+
+
+Invocation
+----------
+
+``git_multimail.py`` is designed to be used as a ``post-receive`` hook in a
+Git repository (see githooks(5)).  Link or copy it to
+$GIT_DIR/hooks/post-receive within the repository for which email
+notifications are desired.  Usually it should be installed on the
+central repository for a project, to which all commits are eventually
+pushed.
+
+For use on pre-v1.5.1 Git servers, ``git_multimail.py`` can also work as
+an ``update`` hook, taking its arguments on the command line.  To use
+this script in this manner, link or copy it to $GIT_DIR/hooks/update.
+Please note that the script is not completely reliable in this mode
+[1]_.
+
+Alternatively, ``git_multimail.py`` can be imported as a Python module
+into your own Python post-receive script.  This method is a bit more
+work, but allows the behavior of the hook to be customized using
+arbitrary Python code.  For example, you can use a custom environment
+(perhaps inheriting from GenericEnvironment or GitoliteEnvironment) to
+
+* change how the user who did the push is determined
+
+* read users' email addresses from an LDAP server or from a database
+
+* decide which users should be notified about which commits based on
+  the contents of the commits (e.g., for users who want to be notified
+  only about changes affecting particular files or subdirectories)
+
+Or you can change how emails are sent by writing your own Mailer
+class.  The ``post-receive`` script in this directory demonstrates how
+to use ``git_multimail.py`` as a Python module.  (If you make interesting
+changes of this type, please consider sharing them with the
+community.)

+
+Troubleshooting/FAQ
+-------------------
+
+Please read `<doc/troubleshooting.rst>`__ for frequently asked
+questions and common issues with git-multimail.
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+By default, git-multimail mostly takes its configuration from the
+following ``git config`` settings:
+
+multimailhook.environment
+    This describes the general environment of the repository. In most
+    cases, you do not need to specify a value for this variable:
+    `git-multimail` will autodetect which environment to use.
+    Currently supported values:
+
+    generic
+      the username of the pusher is read from $USER or $USERNAME and
+      the repository name is derived from the repository's path.
+
+    gitolite
+      Environment to use when ``git-multimail`` is ran as a gitolite_
+      hook.
+
+      The username of the pusher is read from $GL_USER, the repository
+      name is read from $GL_REPO, and the From: header value is
+      optionally read from gitolite.conf (see multimailhook.from).
+
+      For more information about gitolite and git-multimail, read
+      `<doc/gitolite.rst>`__
+
+    stash
+      Environment to use when ``git-multimail`` is ran as an Atlassian
+      BitBucket Server (formerly known as Atlassian Stash) hook.
+
+      **Warning:** this mode was provided by a third-party contributor
+      and never tested by the git-multimail maintainers. It is
+      provided as-is and may or may not work for you.
+
+      This value is automatically assumed when the stash-specific
+      flags (``--stash-user`` and ``--stash-repo``) are specified on
+      the command line. When this environment is active, the username
+      and repo come from these two command line flags, which must be
+      specified.
+
+    gerrit
+      Environment to use when ``git-multimail`` is ran as a
+      ``ref-updated`` Gerrit hook.
+
+      This value is used when the gerrit-specific command line flags
+      (``--oldrev``, ``--newrev``, ``--refname``, ``--project``) for
+      gerrit's ref-updated hook are present. When this environment is
+      active, the username of the pusher is taken from the
+      ``--submitter`` argument if that command line option is passed,
+      otherwise 'Gerrit' is used. The repository name is taken from
+      the ``--project`` option on the command line, which must be passed.
+
+      For more information about gerrit and git-multimail, read
+      `<doc/gerrit.rst>`__
+
+    If none of these environments is suitable for your setup, then you
+    can implement a Python class that inherits from Environment and
+    instantiate it via a script that looks like the example
+    post-receive script.
+
+    The environment value can be specified on the command line using
+    the ``--environment`` option. If it is not specified on the
+    command line or by ``multimailhook.environment``, the value is
+    guessed as follows:
+
+    * If stash-specific (respectively gerrit-specific) command flags
+      are present on the command-line, then ``stash`` (respectively
+      ``gerrit``) is used.
+
+    * If the environment variables $GL_USER and $GL_REPO are set, then
+      ``gitolite`` is used.
+
+    * If none of the above apply, then ``generic`` is used.
+
+multimailhook.repoName
+    A short name of this Git repository, to be used in various places
+    in the notification email text.  The default is to use $GL_REPO
+    for gitolite repositories, or otherwise to derive this value from
+    the repository path name.
+
+multimailhook.mailingList
+    The list of email addresses to which notification emails should be
+    sent, as RFC 2822 email addresses separated by commas.  This
+    configuration option can be multivalued.  Leave it unset or set it
+    to the empty string to not send emails by default.  The next few
+    settings can be used to configure specific address lists for
+    specific types of notification email.
+
+multimailhook.refchangeList
+    The list of email addresses to which summary emails about
+    reference changes should be sent, as RFC 2822 email addresses
+    separated by commas.  This configuration option can be
+    multivalued.  The default is the value in
+    multimailhook.mailingList.  Set this value to "none" (or the empty
+    string) to prevent reference change emails from being sent even if
+    multimailhook.mailingList is set.
+
+multimailhook.announceList
+    The list of email addresses to which emails about new annotated
+    tags should be sent, as RFC 2822 email addresses separated by
+    commas.  This configuration option can be multivalued.  The
+    default is the value in multimailhook.refchangeList or
+    multimailhook.mailingList.  Set this value to "none" (or the empty
+    string) to prevent annotated tag announcement emails from being sent
+    even if one of the other values is set.
+
+multimailhook.commitList
+    The list of email addresses to which emails about individual new
+    commits should be sent, as RFC 2822 email addresses separated by
+    commas.  This configuration option can be multivalued.  The
+    default is the value in multimailhook.mailingList.  Set this value
+    to "none" (or the empty string) to prevent notification emails about
+    individual commits from being sent even if
+    multimailhook.mailingList is set.
+
+multimailhook.announceShortlog
+    If this option is set to true, then emails about changes to
+    annotated tags include a shortlog of changes since the previous
+    tag.  This can be useful if the annotated tags represent releases;
+    then the shortlog will be a kind of rough summary of what has
+    happened since the last release.  But if your tagging policy is
+    not so straightforward, then the shortlog might be confusing
+    rather than useful.  Default is false.
+
+multimailhook.commitEmailFormat
+    The format of email messages for the individual commits, can be "text" or
+    "html". In the latter case, the emails will include diffs using colorized
+    HTML instead of plain text used by default. Note that this  currently the
+    ref change emails are always sent in plain text.
+
+    Note that when using "html", the formatting is done by parsing the
+    output of ``git log`` with ``-p``. When using
+    ``multimailhook.commitLogOpts`` to specify a ``--format`` for
+    ``git log``, one may get false positive (e.g. lines in the body of
+    the message starting with ``+++`` or ``---`` colored in red or
+    green).
+
+    By default, all the message is HTML-escaped. See
+    ``multimailhook.htmlInIntro`` to change this behavior.
+
+multimailhook.commitBrowseURL
+    Used to generate a link to an online repository browser in commit
+    emails. This variable must be a string. Format directives like
+    ``%(<variable>)s`` will be expanded the same way as template
+    strings. In particular, ``%(id)s`` will be replaced by the full
+    Git commit identifier (40-chars hexadecimal).
+
+    If the string does not contain any format directive, then
+    ``%(id)s`` will be automatically added to the string. If you don't
+    want ``%(id)s`` to be automatically added, use the empty format
+    directive ``%()s`` anywhere in the string.
+
+    For example, a suitable value for the git-multimail project itself
+    would be
+    ``https://github.com/git-multimail/git-multimail/commit/%(id)s``.
+
+multimailhook.htmlInIntro, multimailhook.htmlInFooter
+    When generating an HTML message, git-multimail escapes any HTML
+    sequence by default. This means that if a template contains HTML
+    like ``<a href="foo">link</a>``, the reader will see the HTML
+    source code and not a proper link.
+
+    Set ``multimailhook.htmlInIntro`` to true to allow writing HTML
+    formatting in introduction templates. Similarly, set
+    ``multimailhook.htmlInFooter`` for HTML in the footer.
+
+    Variables expanded in the template are still escaped. For example,
+    if a repository's path contains a ``<``, it will be rendered as
+    such in the message.
+
+    Read `<doc/customizing-emails.rst>`__ for more details and
+    examples.
+
+multimailhook.refchangeShowGraph
+    If this option is set to true, then summary emails about reference
+    changes will additionally include:
+
+    * a graph of the added commits (if any)
+
+    * a graph of the discarded commits (if any)
+
+    The log is generated by running ``git log --graph`` with the options
+    specified in graphOpts.  The default is false.
+
+multimailhook.refchangeShowLog
+    If this option is set to true, then summary emails about reference
+    changes will include a detailed log of the added commits in
+    addition to the one line summary.  The log is generated by running
+    ``git log`` with the options specified in multimailhook.logOpts.
+    Default is false.
+
+multimailhook.mailer
+    This option changes the way emails are sent.  Accepted values are:
+
+    * **sendmail (the default)**: use the command ``/usr/sbin/sendmail`` or
+      ``/usr/lib/sendmail`` (or sendmailCommand, if configured).  This
+      mode can be further customized via the following options:
+
+      multimailhook.sendmailCommand
+          The command used by mailer ``sendmail`` to send emails.  Shell
+          quoting is allowed in the value of this setting, but remember that
+          Git requires double-quotes to be escaped; e.g.::
+
+              git config multimailhook.sendmailcommand '/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t -F \"Git Repo\"'
+
+          Default is '/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t' or
+          '/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t' (depending on which file is
+          present and executable).
+
+      multimailhook.envelopeSender
+          If set then pass this value to sendmail via the -f option to set
+          the envelope sender address.
+
+    * **smtp**: use Python's smtplib.  This is useful when the sendmail
+      command is not available on the system.  This mode can be
+      further customized via the following options:
+
+      multimailhook.smtpServer
+          The name of the SMTP server to connect to.  The value can
+          also include a colon and a port number; e.g.,
+          ``mail.example.com:25``.  Default is 'localhost' using port 25.
+
+      multimailhook.smtpUser, multimailhook.smtpPass
+          Server username and password. Required if smtpEncryption is 'ssl'.
+          Note that the username and password currently need to be
+          set cleartext in the configuration file, which is not
+          recommended. If you need to use this option, be sure your
+          configuration file is read-only.
+
+      multimailhook.envelopeSender
+        The sender address to be passed to the SMTP server.  If
+        unset, then the value of multimailhook.from is used.
+
+      multimailhook.smtpServerTimeout
+        Timeout in seconds. Default is 10.
+
+      multimailhook.smtpEncryption
+        Set the security type. Allowed values: ``none``, ``ssl``, ``tls`` (starttls).
+        Default is ``none``.
+
+      multimailhook.smtpCACerts
+        Set the path to a list of trusted CA certificate to verify the
+        server certificate, only supported when ``smtpEncryption`` is
+        ``tls``. If unset or empty, the server certificate is not
+        verified. If it targets a file containing a list of trusted CA
+        certificates (PEM format) these CAs will be used to verify the
+        server certificate. For debian, you can set
+        ``/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt`` for using the system
+        trusted CAs. For self-signed server, you can add your server
+        certificate to the system store::
+
+            cd /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
+            openssl s_client -starttls smtp \
+                   -connect mail.example.net:587 -showcerts \
+                   </dev/null 2>/dev/null \
+                 | openssl x509 -outform PEM >mail.example.net.crt
+            update-ca-certificates
+
+        and used the updated ``/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt``. Or
+        directly use your ``/path/to/mail.example.net.crt``. Default is
+        unset.
+
+      multimailhook.smtpServerDebugLevel
+        Integer number. Set to greater than 0 to activate debugging.
+
+multimailhook.from, multimailhook.fromCommit, multimailhook.fromRefchange
+    If set, use this value in the From: field of generated emails.
+    ``fromCommit`` is used for commit emails, ``fromRefchange`` is
+    used for refchange emails, and ``from`` is used as fall-back in
+    all cases.
+
+    The value for these variables can be either:
+
+    - An email address, which will be used directly.
+
+    - The value ``pusher``, in which case the pusher's address (if
+      available) will be used.
+
+    - The value ``author`` (meaningful only for ``fromCommit``), in which
+      case the commit author's address will be used.
+
+    If config values are unset, the value of the From: header is
+    determined as follows:
+
+    1. (gitolite environment only)
+       1.a) If ``multimailhook.MailaddressMap`` is set, and is a path
+       to an existing file (if relative, it is considered relative to
+       the place where ``gitolite.conf`` is located), then this file
+       should contain lines like::
+
+           username Firstname Lastname <email@example.com>
+
+       git-multimail will then look for a line where ``$GL_USER``
+       matches the ``username`` part, and use the rest of the line for
+       the ``From:`` header.
+
+       1.b) Parse gitolite.conf, looking for a block of comments that
+       looks like this::
+
+           # BEGIN USER EMAILS
+           # username Firstname Lastname <email@example.com>
+           # END USER EMAILS
+
+       If that block exists, and there is a line between the BEGIN
+       USER EMAILS and END USER EMAILS lines where the first field
+       matches the gitolite username ($GL_USER), use the rest of the
+       line for the From: header.
+
+    2. If the user.email configuration setting is set, use its value
+       (and the value of user.name, if set).
+
+    3. Use the value of multimailhook.envelopeSender.
+
+multimailhook.MailaddressMap
+    (gitolite environment only)
+    File to look for a ``From:`` address based on the user doing the
+    push. Defaults to unset. See ``multimailhook.from`` for details.
+
+multimailhook.administrator
+    The name and/or email address of the administrator of the Git
+    repository; used in FOOTER_TEMPLATE.  Default is
+    multimailhook.envelopesender if it is set; otherwise a generic
+    string is used.
+
+multimailhook.emailPrefix
+    All emails have this string prepended to their subjects, to aid
+    email filtering (though filtering based on the X-Git-* email
+    headers is probably more robust).  Default is the short name of
+    the repository in square brackets; e.g., ``[myrepo]``.  Set this
+    value to the empty string to suppress the email prefix. You may
+    use the placeholder ``%(repo_shortname)s`` for the short name of
+    the repository.
+
+multimailhook.emailMaxLines
+    The maximum number of lines that should be included in the body of
+    a generated email.  If not specified, there is no limit.  Lines
+    beyond the limit are suppressed and counted, and a final line is
+    added indicating the number of suppressed lines.
+
+multimailhook.emailMaxLineLength
+    The maximum length of a line in the email body.  Lines longer than
+    this limit are truncated to this length with a trailing ``[...]``
+    added to indicate the missing text.  The default is 500, because
+    (a) diffs with longer lines are probably from binary files, for
+    which a diff is useless, and (b) even if a text file has such long
+    lines, the diffs are probably unreadable anyway.  To disable line
+    truncation, set this option to 0.
+
+multimailhook.subjectMaxLength
+    The maximum length of the subject line (i.e. the ``oneline`` field
+    in templates, not including the prefix). Lines longer than this
+    limit are truncated to this length with a trailing ``[...]`` added
+    to indicate the missing text. This option The default is to use
+    ``multimailhook.emailMaxLineLength``. This option avoids sending
+    emails with overly long subject lines, but should not be needed if
+    the commit messages follow the Git convention (one short subject
+    line, then a blank line, then the message body). To disable line
+    truncation, set this option to 0.
+
+multimailhook.maxCommitEmails
+    The maximum number of commit emails to send for a given change.
+    When the number of patches is larger that this value, only the
+    summary refchange email is sent.  This can avoid accidental
+    mailbombing, for example on an initial push.  To disable commit
+    emails limit, set this option to 0.  The default is 500.
+
+multimailhook.excludeMergeRevisions
+    When sending out revision emails, do not consider merge commits (the
+    functional equivalent of `rev-list --no-merges`).
+    The default is `false` (send merge commit emails).
+
+multimailhook.emailStrictUTF8
+    If this boolean option is set to `true`, then the main part of the
+    email body is forced to be valid UTF-8.  Any characters that are
+    not valid UTF-8 are converted to the Unicode replacement
+    character, U+FFFD.  The default is `true`.
+
+    This option is ineffective with Python 3, where non-UTF-8
+    characters are unconditionally replaced.
+
+multimailhook.diffOpts
+    Options passed to ``git diff-tree`` when generating the summary
+    information for ReferenceChange emails.  Default is ``--stat
+    --summary --find-copies-harder``.  Add -p to those options to
+    include a unified diff of changes in addition to the usual summary
+    output.  Shell quoting is allowed; see ``multimailhook.logOpts`` for
+    details.
+
+multimailhook.graphOpts
+    Options passed to ``git log --graph`` when generating graphs for the
+    reference change summary emails (used only if refchangeShowGraph
+    is true).  The default is '--oneline --decorate'.
+
+    Shell quoting is allowed; see logOpts for details.
+
+multimailhook.logOpts
+    Options passed to ``git log`` to generate additional info for
+    reference change emails (used only if refchangeShowLog is set).
+    For example, adding -p will show each commit's complete diff.  The
+    default is empty.
+
+    Shell quoting is allowed; for example, a log format that contains
+    spaces can be specified using something like::
+
+      git config multimailhook.logopts '--pretty=format:"%h %aN <%aE>%n%s%n%n%b%n"'
+
+    If you want to set this by editing your configuration file
+    directly, remember that Git requires double-quotes to be escaped
+    (see git-config(1) for more information)::
+
+      [multimailhook]
+              logopts = --pretty=format:\"%h %aN <%aE>%n%s%n%n%b%n\"
+
+multimailhook.commitLogOpts
+    Options passed to ``git log`` to generate additional info for
+    revision change emails.  For example, adding --ignore-all-spaces
+    will suppress whitespace changes.  The default options are ``-C
+    --stat -p --cc``.  Shell quoting is allowed; see
+    multimailhook.logOpts for details.
+
+multimailhook.dateSubstitute
+    String to use as a substitute for ``Date:`` in the output of ``git
+    log`` while formatting commit messages. This is useful to avoid
+    emitting a line that can be interpreted by mailers as the start of
+    a cited message (Zimbra webmail in particular). Defaults to
+    ``CommitDate:``. Set to an empty string or ``none`` to deactivate
+    the behavior.
+
+multimailhook.emailDomain
+    Domain name appended to the username of the person doing the push
+    to convert it into an email address
+    (via ``"%s@%s" % (username, emaildomain)``). More complicated
+    schemes can be implemented by overriding Environment and
+    overriding its get_pusher_email() method.
+
+multimailhook.replyTo, multimailhook.replyToCommit, multimailhook.replyToRefchange
+    Addresses to use in the Reply-To: field for commit emails
+    (replyToCommit) and refchange emails (replyToRefchange).
+    multimailhook.replyTo is used as default when replyToCommit or
+    replyToRefchange is not set. The shortcuts ``pusher`` and
+    ``author`` are allowed with the same semantics as for
+    ``multimailhook.from``. In addition, the value ``none`` can be
+    used to omit the ``Reply-To:`` field.
+
+    The default is ``pusher`` for refchange emails, and ``author`` for
+    commit emails.
+
+multimailhook.quiet
+    Do not output the list of email recipients from the hook
+
+multimailhook.stdout
+    For debugging, send emails to stdout rather than to the
+    mailer.  Equivalent to the --stdout command line option

+multimailhook.scanCommitForCc
+    If this option is set to true, than recipients from lines in commit body

+    Default: false
+

+
+multimailhook.refFilterInclusionRegex, multimailhook.refFilterExclusionRegex, multimailhook.refFilterDoSendRegex, multimailhook.refFilterDontSendRegex
+    **Warning:** these options are experimental. They should work, but
+    the user-interface is not stable yet (in particular, the option
+    names may change). If you want to participate in stabilizing the
+    feature, please contact the maintainers and/or send pull-requests.
+    If you are happy with the current shape of the feature, please
+    report it too.
+
+    Regular expressions that can be used to limit refs for which email
+    updates will be sent.  It is an error to specify both an inclusion
+    and an exclusion regex.  If a ``refFilterInclusionRegex`` is
+    specified, emails will only be sent for refs which match this
+    regex.  If a ``refFilterExclusionRegex`` regex is specified,
+    emails will be sent for all refs except those that match this
+    regex (or that match a predefined regex specific to the
+    environment, such as "^refs/notes" for most environments and
+    "^refs/notes|^refs/changes" for the gerrit environment).
+
+    The expressions are matched against the complete refname, and is
+    considered to match if any substring matches. For example, to
+    filter-out all tags, set ``refFilterExclusionRegex`` to
+    ``^refs/tags/`` (note the leading ``^`` but no trailing ``$``). If
+    you set ``refFilterExclusionRegex`` to ``master``, then any ref
+    containing ``master`` will be excluded (the ``master`` branch, but
+    also ``refs/tags/master`` or ``refs/heads/foo-master-bar``).
+
+    ``refFilterDoSendRegex`` and ``refFilterDontSendRegex`` are
+    analogous to ``refFilterInclusionRegex`` and
+    ``refFilterExclusionRegex`` with one difference: with
+    ``refFilterDoSendRegex`` and ``refFilterDontSendRegex``, commits
+    introduced by one excluded ref will not be considered as new when
+    they reach an included ref. Typically, if you add a branch ``foo``
+    to  ``refFilterDontSendRegex``, push commits to this branch, and
+    later merge branch ``foo`` into ``master``, then the notification
+    email for ``master`` will contain a commit email only for the
+    merge commit. If you include ``foo`` in
+    ``refFilterExclusionRegex``, then at the time of merge, you will
+    receive one commit email per commit in the branch.
+
+    These variables can be multi-valued, like::
+
+      [multimailhook]
+              refFilterExclusionRegex = ^refs/tags/
+              refFilterExclusionRegex = ^refs/heads/master$
+
+    You can also provide a whitespace-separated list like::
+
+      [multimailhook]
+              refFilterExclusionRegex = ^refs/tags/ ^refs/heads/master$
+
+    Both examples exclude tags and the master branch, and are
+    equivalent to::
+
+      [multimailhook]
+              refFilterExclusionRegex = ^refs/tags/|^refs/heads/master$
+
+    ``refFilterInclusionRegex`` and ``refFilterExclusionRegex`` are
+    strictly stronger than ``refFilterDoSendRegex`` and
+    ``refFilterDontSendRegex``. In other words, adding a ref to a
+    DoSend/DontSend regex has no effect if it is already excluded by a
+    Exclusion/Inclusion regex.
+
+multimailhook.logFile, multimailhook.errorLogFile, multimailhook.debugLogFile
+
+    When set, these variable designate path to files where
+    git-multimail will log some messages. Normal messages and error
+    messages are sent to ``logFile``, and error messages are also sent
+    to ``errorLogFile``. Debug messages and all other messages are
+    sent to ``debugLogFile``. The recommended way is to set only one
+    of these variables, but it is also possible to set several of them
+    (part of the information is then duplicated in several log files,
+    for example errors are duplicated to all log files).
+
+    Relative path are relative to the Git repository where the push is
+    done.
+
+multimailhook.verbose
+
+    Verbosity level of git-multimail on its standard output. By
+    default, show only error and info messages. If set to true, show
+    also debug messages.
+
+Email filtering aids
+--------------------
+
+All emails include extra headers to enable fine tuned filtering and
+give information for debugging.  All emails include the headers
+``X-Git-Host``, ``X-Git-Repo``, ``X-Git-Refname``, and ``X-Git-Reftype``.
+ReferenceChange emails also include headers ``X-Git-Oldrev`` and ``X-Git-Newrev``;
+Revision emails also include header ``X-Git-Rev``.
+
+
+Customizing email contents
+--------------------------
+
+git-multimail mostly generates emails by expanding templates.  The
+templates can be customized.  To avoid the need to edit
+``git_multimail.py`` directly, the preferred way to change the templates
+is to write a separate Python script that imports ``git_multimail.py`` as
+a module, then replaces the templates in place.  See the provided
+post-receive script for an example of how this is done.
+
+
+Customizing git-multimail for your environment
+----------------------------------------------
+
+git-multimail is mostly customized via an "environment" that describes
+the local environment in which Git is running.  Two types of
+environment are built in:
+
+GenericEnvironment
+    a stand-alone Git repository.
+
+GitoliteEnvironment
+    a Git repository that is managed by gitolite_.  For such
+    repositories, the identity of the pusher is read from
+    environment variable $GL_USER, the name of the repository is read
+    from $GL_REPO (if it is not overridden by multimailhook.reponame),
+    and the From: header value is optionally read from gitolite.conf
+    (see multimailhook.from).
+
+By default, git-multimail assumes GitoliteEnvironment if $GL_USER and
+$GL_REPO are set, and otherwise assumes GenericEnvironment.
+Alternatively, you can choose one of these two environments explicitly
+by setting a ``multimailhook.environment`` config setting (which can
+have the value `generic` or `gitolite`) or by passing an --environment
+option to the script.
+
+If you need to customize the script in ways that are not supported by
+the existing environments, you can define your own environment class
+class using arbitrary Python code.  To do so, you need to import
+``git_multimail.py`` as a Python module, as demonstrated by the example
+post-receive script.  Then implement your environment class; it should
+usually inherit from one of the existing Environment classes and
+possibly one or more of the EnvironmentMixin classes.  Then set the
+``environment`` variable to an instance of your own environment class
+and pass it to ``run_as_post_receive_hook()``.
+
+The standard environment classes, GenericEnvironment and
+GitoliteEnvironment, are in fact themselves put together out of a
+number of mixin classes, each of which handles one aspect of the
+customization.  For the finest control over your configuration, you
+can specify exactly which mixin classes your own environment class
+should inherit from, and override individual methods (or even add your
+own mixin classes) to implement entirely new behaviors.  If you
+implement any mixins that might be useful to other people, please
+consider sharing them with the community!

+Customizing the content and formatting of emails
+================================================
+
+Overloading template strings
+----------------------------
+
+The content of emails is generated based on template strings defined
+in ``git_multimail.py``. You can customize these template strings
+without changing the script itself, by defining a Python wrapper
+around it. The python wrapper should ``import git_multimail`` and then
+override the ``git_multimail.*`` strings like this::
+
+  import sys  # needed for sys.argv
+
+  # Import and customize git_multimail:
+  import git_multimail
+  git_multimail.REVISION_INTRO_TEMPLATE = """..."""
+  git_multimail.COMBINED_INTRO_TEMPLATE = git_multimail.REVISION_INTRO_TEMPLATE
+
+  # start git_multimail itself:
+  git_multimail.main(sys.argv[1:])
+
+The template strings can use any value already used in the existing
+templates (read the source code).
+
+Using HTML in template strings
+------------------------------
+
+If ``multimailhook.commitEmailFormat`` is set to HTML, then
+git-multimail will generate HTML emails for commit notifications. The
+log and diff will be formatted automatically by git-multimail. By
+default, any HTML special character in the templates will be escaped.
+
+To use HTML formatting in the introduction of the email, set
+``multimailhook.htmlInIntro`` to ``true``. Then, the template can
+contain any HTML tags, that will be sent as-is in the email. For
+example, to add some formatting and a link to the online commit, use
+a format like::
+
+  git_multimail.REVISION_INTRO_TEMPLATE = """\
+  <span style="color:#808080">This is an automated email from the git hooks/post-receive script.</span><br /><br />
+
+  <strong>%(pusher)s</strong> pushed a commit to %(refname_type)s %(short_refname)s
+  in repository %(repo_shortname)s.<br />
+
+  <a href="https://github.com/git-multimail/git-multimail/commit/%(newrev)s">View on GitHub</a>.
+  """
+
+Note that the values expanded from ``%(variable)s`` in the format
+strings will still be escaped.
+
+For a less flexible but easier to set up way to add a link to commit
+emails, see ``multimailhook.commitBrowseURL``.
+
+Similarly, one can set ``multimailhook.htmlInFooter`` and override any
+of the ``*_FOOTER*`` template strings.

+Setting up git-multimail on Gerrit
+==================================
+
+Gerrit has its own email-sending system, but you may prefer using
+``git-multimail`` instead. It supports Gerrit natively as a Gerrit
+``ref-updated`` hook (Warning: `Gerrit hooks
+<https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/config-hooks.html>`__
+are distinct from Git hooks). Setting up ``git-multimail`` on a Gerrit
+installation can be done following the instructions below.
+
+The explanations show an easy way to set up ``git-multimail``,
+but leave ``git-multimail`` installed and unconfigured for a while. If
+you run Gerrit on a production server, it is advised that you
+execute the step "Set up the hook" last to avoid confusing your users
+in the meantime.
+
+Set up the hook
+---------------
+
+Create a directory ``$site_path/hooks/`` if it does not exist (if you
+don't know what ``$site_path`` is, run ``gerrit.sh status`` and look
+for a ``GERRIT_SITE`` line). Either copy ``git_multimail.py`` to
+``$site_path/hooks/ref-updated`` or create a wrapper script like
+this::
+
+  #! /bin/sh
+  exec /path/to/git_multimail.py "$@"
+
+In both cases, make sure the file is named exactly
+``$site_path/hooks/ref-updated`` and is executable.
+
+(Alternatively, you may configure the ``[hooks]`` section of
+gerrit.config)
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+Log on the gerrit server and edit ``$site_path/git/$project/config``
+to configure ``git-multimail``.
+
+Troubleshooting
+---------------
+
+Warning: this will disable ``git-multimail`` during the debug, and
+could confuse your users. Don't run on a production server.
+
+To debug configuration issues with ``git-multimail``, you can add the
+``--stdout`` option when calling ``git_multimail.py`` like this::
+
+  #!/bin/sh
+  exec /path/to/git-multimail/git-multimail/git_multimail.py \
+    --stdout "$@" >> /tmp/log.txt
+
+and try pushing from a test repository. You should see the source of
+the email that would have been sent in the output of ``git push`` in
+the file ``/tmp/log.txt``.

+Setting up git-multimail on gitolite
+====================================
+
+``git-multimail`` supports gitolite 3 natively.
+The explanations below show an easy way to set up ``git-multimail``,
+but leave ``git-multimail`` installed and unconfigured for a while. If
+you run gitolite on a production server, it is advised that you
+execute the step "Set up the hook" last to avoid confusing your users
+in the meantime.
+
+Set up the hook
+---------------
+
+Log in as your gitolite user.
+
+Create a file ``.gitolite/hooks/common/post-receive`` on your gitolite
+account containing (adapt the path, obviously)::
+
+  #!/bin/sh
+  exec /path/to/git-multimail/git-multimail/git_multimail.py "$@"
+
+Make sure it's executable (``chmod +x``). Record the hook in
+gitolite::
+
+  gitolite setup
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+First, you have to allow the admin to set Git configuration variables.
+
+As gitolite user, edit the line containing ``GIT_CONFIG_KEYS`` in file
+``.gitolite.rc``, to make it look like::
+
+  GIT_CONFIG_KEYS                 =>  'multimailhook\..*',
+
+You can now log out and return to your normal user.
+
+In the ``gitolite-admin`` clone, edit the file ``conf/gitolite.conf``
+and add::
+
+  repo @all
+      # Not strictly needed as git_multimail.py will chose gitolite if
+      # $GL_USER is set.
+      config multimailhook.environment = gitolite
+      config multimailhook.mailingList = # Where emails should be sent
+      config multimailhook.from = # From address to use
+
+Note that by default, gitolite forbids ``<`` and ``>`` in variable
+values (for security/paranoia reasons, see
+`compensating for UNSAFE_PATT
+<http://gitolite.com/gitolite/git-config/index.html#compensating-for-unsafe95patt>`__
+in gitolite's documentation for explanations and a way to disable
+this). As a consequence, you will not be able to use ``First Last
+<First.Last@example.com>`` as recipient email, but specifying
+``First.Last@example.com`` alone works.
+
+Obviously, you can customize all parameters on a per-repository basis by
+adding these ``config multimailhook.*`` lines in the section
+corresponding to a repository or set of repositories.
+
+To activate ``git-multimail`` on a per-repository basis, do not set
+``multimailhook.mailingList`` in the ``@all`` section and set it only
+for repositories for which you want ``git-multimail``.
+
+Alternatively, you can set up the ``From:`` field on a per-user basis
+by adding a ``BEGIN USER EMAILS``/``END USER EMAILS`` section (see
+``../README``).
+
+Specificities of Gitolite for Configuration
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Empty configuration variables
+.............................
+
+With gitolite, the syntax ``config multimailhook.commitList = ""``
+unsets the variable instead of setting it to an empty string (see
+`here
+<http://gitolite.com/gitolite/git-config.html#an-important-warning-about-deleting-a-config-line>`__).
+As a result, there is no way to set a variable to the empty string.
+In all most places where an empty value is required, git-multimail
+now allows to specify special ``"none"`` value (case-sensitive) to
+mean the same.
+
+Alternatively, one can use ``" "`` (a single space) instead of ``""``.
+In most cases (in particular ``multimailhook.*List`` variables), this
+will be equivalent to an empty string.
+
+If you have a use-case where ``"none"`` is not an acceptable value and
+you need ``" "`` or  ``""`` instead, please report it as a bug to
+git-multimail.
+
+Allowing Regular Expressions in Configuration
+.............................................
+
+gitolite has a mechanism to prevent unsafe configuration variable
+values, which prevent characters like ``|`` commonly used in regular
+expressions. If you do not need the safety feature of gitolite and
+need to use regular expressions in your configuration (e.g. for
+``multimailhook.refFilter*`` variables), set
+`UNSAFE_PATT
+<http://gitolite.com/gitolite/git-config.html#unsafe-patt>`__ to a
+less restrictive value.
+
+Troubleshooting
+---------------
+
+Warning: this will disable ``git-multimail`` during the debug, and
+could confuse your users. Don't run on a production server.
+
+To debug configuration issues with ``git-multimail``, you can add the
+``--stdout`` option when calling ``git_multimail.py`` like this::
+
+  #!/bin/sh
+  exec /path/to/git-multimail/git-multimail/git_multimail.py --stdout "$@"
+
+and try pushing from a test repository. You should see the source of
+the email that would have been sent in the output of ``git push``.

+Troubleshooting issues with git-multimail: a FAQ
+================================================
+
+How to check that git-multimail is properly set up?
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+Since version 1.4.0, git-multimail allows a simple self-checking of
+its configuration: run it with the environment variable
+``GIT_MULTIMAIL_CHECK_SETUP`` set to a non-empty string. You should
+get something like this::
+
+  $ GIT_MULTIMAIL_CHECK_SETUP=true /home/moy/dev/git-multimail/git-multimail/git_multimail.py
+  Environment values:
+      administrator : 'the administrator of this repository'
+      charset : 'utf-8'
+      emailprefix : '[git-multimail] '
+      fqdn : 'anie'
+      projectdesc : 'UNNAMED PROJECT'
+      pusher : 'moy'
+      repo_path : '/home/moy/dev/git-multimail'
+      repo_shortname : 'git-multimail'
+
+  Now, checking that git-multimail's standard input is properly set ...
+  Please type some text and then press Return
+  foo
+  You have just entered:
+  foo
+  git-multimail seems properly set up.
+
+If you forgot to set an important variable, you may get instead::
+
+  $ GIT_MULTIMAIL_CHECK_SETUP=true /home/moy/dev/git-multimail/git-multimail/git_multimail.py
+  No email recipients configured!
+
+Do not set ``$GIT_MULTIMAIL_CHECK_SETUP`` other than for testing your
+configuration: it would disable the hook completely.
+
+Git is not using the right address in the From/To/Reply-To field
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+First, make sure that git-multimail actually uses what you think it is
+using. A lot happens to your email (especially when posting to a
+mailing-list) between the time `git_multimail.py` sends it and the
+time it reaches your inbox.
+
+A simple test (to do on a test repository, do not use in production as
+it would disable email sending): change your post-receive hook to call
+`git_multimail.py` with the `--stdout` option, and try to push to the
+repository. You should see something like::
+
+  Counting objects: 3, done.
+  Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 263 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done.
+  Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
+  remote: Sending notification emails to: foo.bar@example.com
+  remote: ===========================================================================

+not part of the message content but passed to the mailer. Some mailer
+show the ``Sender:`` field instead of the ``From:`` field (for
+example, Zimbra Webmail shows ``From: <sender-field> on behalf of

+"""Generate notification emails for pushes to a git repository.
+
+This hook sends emails describing changes introduced by pushes to a
+git repository.  For each reference that was changed, it emits one
+ReferenceChange email summarizing how the reference was changed,
+followed by one Revision email for each new commit that was introduced
+by the reference change.
+
+Each commit is announced in exactly one Revision email.  If the same
+commit is merged into another branch in the same or a later push, then
+the ReferenceChange email will list the commit's SHA1 and its one-line
+summary, but no new Revision email will be generated.
+
+This script is designed to be used as a "post-receive" hook in a git
+repository (see githooks(5)).  It can also be used as an "update"
+script, but this usage is not completely reliable and is deprecated.
+
+To help with debugging, this script accepts a --stdout option, which
+causes the emails to be written to standard output rather than sent
+using sendmail.

+
+            Return the absolute path to the Git repository.

+        get_pusher_email() (may return None)
+
+            Return the email address of the person who pushed the
+            changes.  The value should be a single RFC 2822 email
+            address as a string; e.g., "Joe User <user@example.com>"
+            if available, otherwise "user@example.com".  If set, the
+            value is used as the Reply-To address for refchange
+            emails.  If it is impossible to determine the pusher's
+            email, this attribute should be set to None (in which case

+
+            Return the 'From' email address used in the email 'From:'
+            headers.  If the change is known when this function is
+            called, it is passed in as the 'change' parameter.  (May

+            <user@example.com>'.)
+
+        get_administrator()
+
+            Return the name and/or email of the repository

+            person to whom requests to be removed from the
+            notification list should be sent.  Ideally, it should
+            include a valid email address.
+
+        get_reply_to_refchange()
+        get_reply_to_commit()
+
+            Return the address to use in the email "Reply-To" header,

+            None to omit the "Reply-To" header.
+            get_reply_to_refchange() is used for refchange emails;

+            emails.
+
+        get_ref_filter_regex()
+
+            Return a tuple -- a compiled regex, and a boolean indicating
+            whether the regex picks refs to include (if False, the regex
+            matches on refs to exclude).
+
+        get_default_ref_ignore_regex()

+            to send and when computing what commits are considered new
+            to the repository.  Default is "^refs/notes/".
+

+
+            Return an int giving the maximal length for the subject
+            (git log --oneline).
+
+    They should also define the following attributes:
+
+        announce_show_shortlog (bool)
+
+            True iff announce emails should include a shortlog.
+

+
+    It is easy to figure out what commits were added to a *branch* by
+    a Reference change:
+
+        git rev-list change.old..change.new
+
+    or removed from a *branch*:
+
+        git rev-list change.new..change.old
+
+    But it is not quite so trivial to determine which entirely new
+    commits were added to the *repository* by a push and which old
+    commits were discarded by a push.  A big part of the job of this
+    class is to figure out these things, and to make sure that new
+    commits are only detailed once even if they were added to multiple
+    references.
+
+    The first step is to determine the "other" references--those
+    unaffected by the current push.  They are computed by listing all
+    references then removing any affected by this push.  The results
+    are stored in Push._other_ref_sha1s.
+
+    The commits contained in the repository before this push were
+
+        git rev-list other1 other2 other3 ... change1.old change2.old ...
+
+    Where "changeN.old" is the old value of one of the references
+    affected by this push.
+
+    The commits contained in the repository after this push are
+
+        git rev-list other1 other2 other3 ... change1.new change2.new ...
+
+    The commits added by this push are the difference between these
+    two sets, which can be written
+
+        git rev-list \
+            ^other1 ^other2 ... \
+            ^change1.old ^change2.old ... \
+            change1.new change2.new ...
+
+    The commits removed by this push can be computed by
+
+        git rev-list \
+            ^other1 ^other2 ... \
+            ^change1.new ^change2.new ... \
+            change1.old change2.old ...
+
+    The last point is that it is possible that other pushes are
+    occurring simultaneously to this one, so reference values can
+    change at any time.  It is impossible to eliminate all race
+    conditions, but we reduce the window of time during which problems
+    can occur by translating reference names to SHA1s as soon as
+    possible and working with SHA1s thereafter (because SHA1s are
+    immutable)."""

+"""Example post-receive hook based on git-multimail.
+
+The simplest way to use git-multimail is to use the script
+git_multimail.py directly as a post-receive hook, and to configure it
+using Git's configuration files and command-line parameters.  You can
+also write your own Python wrapper for more advanced configurability,
+using git_multimail.py as a Python module.
+
+This script is a simple example of such a post-receive hook.  It is
+intended to be customized before use; see the comments in the script
+to help you get started.
+
+Using git-multimail as a Python module as done here provides more
+flexibility.  It has the following advantages:
+
+* The tool's behavior can be customized using arbitrary Python code,
+  without having to edit git_multimail.py.
+
+* Configuration settings can be read from other sources; for example,
+  user names and email addresses could be read from LDAP or from a
+  database.  Or the settings can even be hardcoded in the importing
+  Python script, if this is preferred.
+
+This script is a very basic example of how to use git_multimail.py as
+a module.  The comments below explain some of the points at which the
+script's behavior could be changed or customized.

+# git-multimail:
+config = git_multimail.Config('multimailhook')
+
+# Set some Git configuration variables. Equivalent to passing var=val
+# to "git -c var=val" each time git is called, or to adding the
+# configuration in .git/config (must come before instantiating the
+# environment) :
+#git_multimail.Config.add_config_parameters('multimailhook.commitEmailFormat=html')

+# Use "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t" to send emails.  The envelopesender
+# argument is optional:
+#mailer = git_multimail.SendMailer(
+#    command=['/usr/sbin/sendmail', '-oi', '-t'],
+#    envelopesender='git-repo@example.com',
+#    )
+
+# Use Python's smtplib to send emails.  Both arguments are required.
+#mailer = git_multimail.SMTPMailer(
+#    environment=environment,
+#    envelopesender='git-repo@example.com',
+#    # The smtpserver argument can also include a port number; e.g.,
+#    #     smtpserver='mail.example.com:25'
+#    smtpserver='mail.example.com',
+#    )
+
+# OutputMailer is intended only for testing; it writes the emails to
+# the specified file stream.
+#mailer = git_multimail.OutputMailer(sys.stdout)

+# Read changes from stdin and send notification emails:
