I don't think an adaptive approach is appropriate here.
First, I think it violates the Principle of Least Astonishment.
Sometimes you get an aggregate message, sometimes you get individual
messages (even though they're the result of a single push/pull). Sooner
or later, someone will want to make the "10" configurable, which will
make the results even more variable.
Second, having multiple formats makes it harder to process the
notifications using scripts, procmail, or other email sorting code.
I'd rather see a single notification email, which always contains the
same level of detail. The email could include one or more links to
pages with additional information.[2]

[1] Or would the configuration parameter be for all repositories on the
web site?
[2] For example, the link in the email could take you to a list of
changesets, with each changeset individually clickable to get the
details for that changeset.
