OK, so here is a question: Is it within the capabilities of Git to change
the post-commit script parameters (or to whatever other forms of magic it
might take to accomplish this) to give a more meaningful subject line?
Compare this:
[Maxima-commits] maxima/share/tensor tetrad.dem,1.5,1.6
to this:
[Maxima-commits] Maxima, A Computer Algebra System branch, master,
updated. 6211ffd0300c0cf1f9b4aeaeebeb0b9608f9619c
CVS told me precisely what I needed to know: which file was updated. Git
tells me what Maxima is, that the "master" branch was updated (d'oh!) and
some hex nonsense that I am sure means something to some people but is
completely meaningless to me. I must say that I found the CVS message far
more informative and helpful (as in, letting me know whether or not I should
take a closer look at a particular edit, or being able to search for
specific edits in my mail.) The Git subject line might as well be just a
random string, as it has no information content.

I managed to remove it.
