These bits (minus the initial "From ..." line) should go into your actual email headers. As it is, your email has no subject line.

It's not extraneous. hashcmp() returns 0 for equality, but an arbitrary positive or negative value depending on how the two arguments differ. The assigned "new_submodule_commits" is a bitfield of size 1. So the "!!" is normalizing the value into "0" or "1".
