I like that better than all of the canned alternatives.  Including the branch
name is a great idea.  :)

So, an email to [email protected] would have a subject something like this:

    [lucy-commits] [lucy/LUCY-215-cf-extensions] Document new params

It bothers me a bit that the most salient info is off on the right where it's
in danger of getting truncated in many situations.

How about we put the $subject earlier, and dispense with $repo?

    $subject [$branch]

Sample:

    [lucy-commits] Document new params [LUCY-215-cf-extensions]

Also note: Gmail does not consider text within brackets in subjects when
deciding whether an email belongs to a "conversation".  I'm not clear on
whether this will cause weird threading when commits are merged from a feature
branch to master.
