Is it possible to integrate jabber and git so that I get notified when
new commits are available on our central git repo host?
I need to install some hook on the git server, of course.

We use gitosis.

Best regards,

Well, the problem isn't really in the hooks but in how to connect to a 
Jabber-server. For the few svn-repos I'm using (on my own server that 
is) I'm using xmpp4r (a Ruby-jabber implementation). svn triggers a 
commit-hook which calls my ruby-script and supplies the jabber-contacts 
with commit-message, changed files and so on.

You can find the ruby-script here: 
http://avalon.hoffentlich.net/~heipei/tmp/jabber_notification.rb and 
have fun adapting it to your needs and making sure that xmpp4r is 
installed ;)

If you can't get xmpp4r onto the host that is the master for your 
project you could always put a hook there that pushes new changes to 
another host and calls xmpp4r there.
