So i know it may be old school, but I like getting svn commit messages, especially when working on a small team. I found ElliotH's post about A better subversion post-commit hook than commit-email.pl, but it wasnt entirely working.
Most of the credit goes to him, I just fixed the colorization.
[UPDATED]: for some reason, new lines werent looking good in all emails#!/usr/bin/ruby -w # A Subversion post-commit hook. Edit the configurable stuff below, and # copy into your repository's hooks/ directory as "post-commit".
