```
The hooks.emailmaxlines config currently has no effect. Stop
prep_for_email from clobbering the already-initialized maxlines
variable in the contrib/hooks/post-receive-email example.

Agree. $maxlines is harmless, but extraneous here.
Would you like me to reroll a patch with both or is this a trivial fixup?
