   3"""Example post-receive hook based on git-multimail.
   4
   5The simplest way to use git-multimail is to use the script
   6git_multimail.py directly as a post-receive hook, and to configure it
   7using Git's configuration files and command-line parameters.  You can
   8also write your own Python wrapper for more advanced configurability,
   9using git_multimail.py as a Python module.
  10
  11This script is a simple example of such a post-receive hook.  It is
  12intended to be customized before use; see the comments in the script
  13to help you get started.
  14
  15Using git-multimail as a Python module as done here provides more
  16flexibility.  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
  26This script is a very basic example of how to use git_multimail.py as
  27a module.  The comments below explain some of the points at which the
  28script's behavior could be changed or customized.
