Nope, as that would mean one second of additional waiting time per commit 
for the person doing the push - git is waiting for the output of the hook 
scripts. That could be solved, of course, but I'm only going to attempt that 
when we absolutely need to have multiple mails per push.

Done, the new format has seen these changes:

* there's an overview section at the top, which lists the short commit, 
  and the full log, plus the author (either once at the end, or, if there 
are 
  multiple authors, after each log message)
* the stats are no longer shown for each patch, but global stats are
  shown after the overview - this should make it easier to grasp which files
  were changed and use that info to decide whether or not it's worth looking
  at the diffs

This means that the full log message for each commit is shown twice, though.

cheers,
    Oliver
