The docs in contrib/hooks/pre-auto-gc-battery suggest:
For example, if the hook is stored in
/usr/share/git-core/contrib/hooks/pre-auto-gc-battery:
chmod a+x pre-auto-gc-battery
cd /path/to/your/repository.git
ln -sf /usr/share/git-core/contrib/hooks/pre-auto-gc-battery \
hooks/pre-auto-gc
Unfortunately on multi-user systems most users do not have write
access to /usr. Better to mark the sample hooks executable in
the first place so users do not have to tweak their permissions to
use them by symlinking into .git/hooks/.

Some email clients (e.g., claws-mail) display the message body
incorrectly when the charset is not defined explicitly in a
Content-Type header. "git log" generates logs in UTF-8 encoding by
default, so add a Content-Type header declaring that encoding to
the emails the post-receive-email example hook sends.
[jn: also setting the Content-Transfer-Encoding so MTAs know what
kind of mangling might be needed when sending to a non 8-bit clean
SMTP host]

Git commands write commit messages in UTF-8 by default, but that
default can be overridden by the [i18n] commitEncoding and
logOutputEncoding settings. With such a setting, the emails written
by the post-receive-email hook use a mixture of encodings:
1. Log messages use the configured log output encoding, which is
meant to be whatever encoding works best with local terminals
(and does not have much to do with what encoding should be used
for email)
2. Filenames are left as is: on Linux, usually UTF-8, and in the Mingw
port (which uses Unicode filesystem APIs), always UTF-8
3. The "This is an automated email" preface uses a project description
from .git/description, which is typically in UTF-8 to support
gitweb.
So (1) is configurable, and (2) and (3) are unconfigurable and
typically UTF-8. Override the log output encoding to always use UTF-8
when writing the email to get the best chance of a comprehensible
single-encoding email.

This way the hook doesn't have to keep being tweaked as porcelain
learns new features like color and pagination.
While at it, replace the "git rev-list | git shortlog" idiom with
plain "git shortlog" for simplicity.
Except for depending less on the value of settings like '[log]
abbrevCommit', no change in output intended.

Changes the logic in the script to determine whether an email message
will be sent before invoking the send_mail() function; otherwise, if
the logic determines that a message will not be sent, send_mail() will
cause an empty email to be sent. In addition, ensures that if multiple
refs are updated and a message cannot be sent for one of them,
the others are still processed normally.

We have become used to the features of svnmailer when used with Subversion,
and one of those useful features is that it can limit the maximum length
(in lines) of a commit email message. This is terribly useful since once the
goes beyond a reasonable number of lines, nobody is going to read the remainder,
and if they really want the entire contents of the commits, they can use
git itself to get them using the revision IDs present in the message already.
Change the post-receive-email script to respond to an 'emailmaxlines' config key
which, if specified, will limit the number of lines generated (including
headers); any lines beyond the limit are suppressed, and a final line is added
indicating the number that were suppressed.

According to the default hooks/post-receive file, the hook is called
with three arguments on stdin:
<oldrev> <newrev> <refname>
In command-line mode, the arguments come in a different order, because
the email hook instead calls:
generate_email $2 $3 $1

Add a comment showing how to include a web link (i.e. gitweb/cgit)
and a patch in the email that is sent for each pushed commit.
The quoting was tricky enough that it's worth documenting. To add
two blank lines (i.e. put \n\n in the printf), you would need to
say \\\\n\\\\n, and in the end, the pair of "echo" statements seemed
better. This is used in glibc.git repository:

In the show_new_revisions function, the original code:
git rev-parse --not --branches | grep -v $(git rev-parse $refname) |
isn't quite right since one can create a new branch and push it
without any new commits. In that case, two refs will have the same
sha1 but both would get filtered by the 'grep'. In the end, we'll
show ALL the history which is not what we want. Instead, we should
list the branches by name and remove the branch being updated and THEN
pass that list through rev-parse.
Revised as suggested by Jakub Narebski and Junio C Hamano to use
git-for-each-ref instead of git-branch. (Thanks!)

post-receive-email adds a signature to the end of emails in
generate_email_footer(). The signature was separated from the main email
body using the standard string "-- ". (see RFC 3676)
a6080a0 (War on whitespace, 2007-06-07) removed the trailing whitespace
from "-- ", leaving it as "--", which is not a correct signature
separator.
This patch restores the missing space, but does it in a way that will

The sed command that extracted the first line of the project description
didn't include the -n switch and hence the project name was being
printed twice. This was ruining the email header generation because it
