Subject: [PATCH] contrib/hooks/post-receive-email: make subject prefix configurable
Message-ID: <20071106134930.24454.qmail@2bdebc2f326342.315fe32.mid.smarden.org>

```
Email subjects are prefixed with "[SCM] " by default, make this optionally
configurable through the hooks.emailprefix config option.
