+Runs hourly via cron.  Must ask Savannah admins to enable/disable it
+for each branch.  Stores the last revision that it mailed as
+last_revision_mailed in branch.conf on the server.  Breaks with bzr 2.6:

+Fix from https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-hookless-email/+bug/988195
+only partially works.  Breaks again on every merge commit:

+
+You can force it to skip the merge commit by changing the value for
+last_revision_mailed, eg:
+
+bzr config last_revision_mailed=xfq.free@gmail.com-20130603233720-u1aumaxvf3o0rlai -d bzr+ssh://USERNAME@bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk/

+Runs on commit.  Projects can enable it themselves by using `bzr
+config' to set post_commit_to option for a branch.  See `bzr help email'
+(if you have the plugin installed) for other options.
