This script is derived from > contrib/hooks/post-receive-mail, but has many differences, including:
The new script (I didn't read it at all) may be useful to some people, but I'm fairly negative on adding 47 different "I know there is something in contrib/, I looked at it, but I didn't bother updating it to fill my needs and wrote a new one instead" at this point to my tree. It is a different matter if the patch was to replace the existing one, saying "the users of the old script can use this one, which is backward compatible with respect to the external interface such as command line, or configuration variables used". Instead of a total backward compatibility, "here is a script to migrate the existing set of configuration variables so that users of the old script can run it once, and start using this new one" is also perfectly fine. Such an enhancement, especially if the rewritten result is cleaner and easier to enhance going forward than the original, would be very much appreciated.
