Hi guys,

Ludo, if you want to try a different mail-sending hook, I can help.
For coreutils, I'm using the same one as you, but with these two added features:

  # hooks.commiturl
  #   If set, then use this as a printf-style format string assumed to have
  #   a single %s specifier, for which the SHA1 of the commit in question will
  #   be substituted.  The resulting string should be a valid URL referring to
  #   that same SHA1.
  # hooks.maildiffs
  #   If set, then include actual "diff" output, in addition to diffstats.

If you're interested, to make it send diffs, I'd just set the boolean

  git config hooks.maildiffs yes

and probably (if you'd like) set the commiturl format as well:

  git config hooks.commiturl \
    'http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/commit/?id=%s'

If you like that or something similar, let me know and I'll
install it for guile.

Even with your existing hook, this setting will remove the [SCM] prefix:

  git config hooks.emailprefix ''
