   3 """Example post-receive hook based on git-multimail.
   4
   5 The simplest way to use git-multimail is to use the script
   6 git_multimail.py directly as a post-receive hook, and to configure it
   7 using Git's configuration files and command-line parameters.  You can
   8 also write your own Python wrapper for more advanced configurability,
   9 using git_multimail.py as a Python module.
  10
  11 This script is a simple example of such a post-receive hook.  It is
  12 intended to be customized before use; see the comments in the script
  13 to help you get started.
  14
  15 Using git-multimail as a Python module as done here provides more
  16 flexibility.  It has the following advantages:
  17
  18 * The tool's behavior can be customized using arbitrary Python code,
  19   without having to edit git_multimail.py.
  20
  21 * Configuration settings can be read from other sources; for example,
  22   user names and email addresses could be read from LDAP or from a
  23   database.  Or the settings can even be hardcoded in the importing
  24   Python script, if this is preferred.
  25
  26 This script is a very basic example of how to use git_multimail.py as
  27 a module.  The comments below explain some of the points at which the
  28 script's behavior could be changed or customized.
