"""Example post-receive hook based on git-multimail.
This script is a simple example of a post-receive hook implemented
using git_multimail.py as a Python module. It is intended to be
customized before use; see the comments in the script to help you get
started.
It is possible to use git_multimail.py itself as a post-receive or
update hook, configured via git config settings and/or command-line
parameters. But for more flexibility, it can also be imported as a
Python module by a custom post-receive script as done here. The
latter has the following advantages:
* The tool's behavior can be customized using arbitrary Python code,
without having to edit git_multimail.py.
* Configuration settings can be read from other sources; for example,
user names and email addresses could be read from LDAP or from a
database. Or the settings can even be hardcoded in the importing
Python script, if this is preferred.
This script is a very basic example of how to use git_multimail.py as
a module. The comments below explain some of the points at which the
script's behavior could be changed or customized.

# Specify which "git config" section contains the configuration for
# git-multimail:
config = git_multimail.Config('multimailhook')
# Select the type of environment:
environment = git_multimail.GenericEnvironment(config=config)
#environment = git_multimail.GitoliteEnvironment(config=config)
# Choose the method of sending emails based on the git config:
mailer = git_multimail.choose_mailer(config, environment)
# Alternatively, you may hardcode the mailer using code like one of
# the following:
# Use "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t" to send emails. The envelopesender
# argument is optional:
#mailer = git_multimail.SendMailer(
# command=['/usr/sbin/sendmail', '-oi', '-t'],
# envelopesender='git-repo@example.com',
# )
# Use Python's smtplib to send emails. Both arguments are required.
#mailer = git_multimail.SMTPMailer(
# envelopesender='git-repo@example.com',
# # The smtpserver argument can also include a port number; e.g.,
# # smtpserver='mail.example.com:25'
# smtpserver='mail.example.com',
# )
# OutputMailer is intended only for testing; it writes the emails to
# the specified file stream.
#mailer = git_multimail.OutputMailer(sys.stdout)
# Read changes from stdin and send notification emails:
