Ok, I've made some improvements to dfilter.
* I cleaned up the README file (/home/dillon/dfilter/README on freefall),
getting rid of variables that are not yet supported.
* If the program cannot parse your filter it should now send you an
email with the error. (You can also run dfilter manually,
/home/dillon/bin/dfilter, to check your filter script).
* A unified diff is now the default.
* Minor security nits cleaned up.
Again, you can create your own commit filter by creating the file
/home/dillon/filters/<YOURUSERNAME> on freefall or hub. Make sure it
is mode 644. There are examples in that directory as well as the
README file.
A commit filter gives you commit emails that include a cvs diff of
the changes after the main commit message. You can also modify headers
such as the Subject: and To: lines and direct the email somewhere other
then your freefall account, and you can filter based on wildcard
matching against any header or even against the entire mail body,
allowing you to monitor sections of the codebase that you are interested
in.
I'm already having great fun with it! Commit messages are a whole lot
easier to review with the diff right there in the email.
