The post-receive-email script goes out of its way to avoid sending commits twice by filtering out commits that are included in existing refs, but if more than one branch changes then some commits can end up not being reported. For example, I made two commits A and B, made one branch point at A and another at B, and pushed both -- neither of the resulting two emails had A.
