Hi there,
Hasanybody ever written a script that keeps track of your favorite Git(and SVN) projects? E.g. sends you an e-mail every time a revision hasbeen made, with details like the summary, time and date, author andcode differences.

I've modified a few projects to my liking, somuch that any change made to the original would have to be addedmanually. I also think it would be a great way to learn.

I can'timagine anything better than a neat little Ruby script stacked insidemy crontab. I'm still a rookie though, otherwise I'd have made my ownalready.

Kyrre

I don't know of a "subscribe to a source repository" program myself, 
actually.

It does seem interesting!

The other thing you might do is run git-svn nightly, and have post-commit 
hook for git that emails out the diffs you like.

Whatever you do, keep me posted!

Why not subscribe to the gitweb of each one via your RSS reader?

i guess, but it'd be a lot simpler (not to mention cuter) to let a ruby script just bring me the reports instead of me having to go fetch them myself :)

is anyone down to perhaps make one? i'm only so-so with ruby, but i can design a hella fly project page? or some other stuff if somebody's up for a skill swap. i design big brands and skyscrapers for a living.
