  $ hg help notify

  notify extension - hooks for sending email notifications at commit/push time

  Subscriptions can be managed through a hgrc file. Default mode is to print

  messages to stdout, for testing and configuring.

  To use, configure the notify extension and enable it in hgrc like this:

    [extensions]

    notify =

    [hooks]

    # one email for each incoming changeset

    incoming.notify = python:hgext.notify.hook

    # batch emails when many changesets incoming at one time

    changegroup.notify = python:hgext.notify.hook

    [notify]

    # config items go here

  Required configuration items:

    config = /path/to/file # file containing subscriptions

  Optional configuration items:

    test = True            # print messages to stdout for testing

    strip = 3              # number of slashes to strip for url paths

    domain = example.com   # domain to use if committer missing domain

    style = ...            # style file to use when formatting email

    template = ...         # template to use when formatting email

    incoming = ...         # template to use when run as incoming hook

    maxdiff = 300          # max lines of diffs to include (0=none, -1=all)

    maxsubject = 67        # truncate subject line longer than this

    diffstat = True        # add a diffstat before the diff content

    sources = serve        # notify if source of incoming changes in this list

                           # (serve == ssh or http, push, pull, bundle)

    merge = False          # send notification for merges (default True)

    [email]

    from = user@host.com   # email address to send as if none given

    [web]

    baseurl = http://hgserver/... # root of hg web site for browsing commits

  The notify config file has same format as a regular hgrc file. It has two

  sections so you can express subscriptions in whatever way is handier for you.

    [usersubs]

    # key is subscriber email, value is ","-separated list of glob patterns

    user@host = pattern

    [reposubs]

    # key is glob pattern, value is ","-separated list of subscriber emails

    pattern = user@host

  Glob patterns are matched against path to repository root.

  If you like, you can put notify config file in repository that users can push

  changes to, they can manage their own subscriptions.

  no commands defined

  $ hg init a

  $ echo a > a/a

commit

  $ hg --cwd a commit -Ama -d '0 0'

  adding a

clone

  $ hg --traceback clone a b

  updating to branch default

  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

  $ echo a >> a/a

commit

  $ hg --traceback --cwd a commit -Amb -d '1 0'

on Mac OS X 10.5 the tmp path is very long so would get stripped in the subject line

  $ cat <<EOF >> $HGRCPATH

  > [notify]

  > maxsubject = 200

  > EOF

the python call below wraps continuation lines, which appear on Mac OS X 10.5 because

of the very long subject line

pull (minimal config)

  $ hg --traceback --cwd b pull ../a | \

  >   python -c 'import sys,re; print re.sub("\n[\t ]", " ", sys.stdin.read()),'

  pulling from ../a
