It also would be a better default if not both (git and fmn) are sending a notification by default. So if you just enable e-mail communication, you receive two e-mails for each commit or merge.

@pypingou, @bochecha - can we turn off email from gitolite3 before freeze sets in on Tuesday? Or is that too rushed.

To disable dist-git emails we need to make sure and add a scm-commits FAS user who gets them still for the scm-commits list

Messages for commits, pkgdb changes, and lookaside uploads.

FMN also sends always the full diff (after e.g. git merge origin/master) even if the Git e-mail just tells that the diff has been already sent in a separate e-mail.

I think it's a git hook sending the email, so it should be fairly simple to drop it

Yeah, it's the gnome-post-receive-send-email commit hook (not sure the exact name, but it's definitely 'post-receive' and it's based on the original GNOME one)

So, we need a way for the git hook that sends fedmsg messages originally to detect if the commit already exists in another branch, and if so.. just mark that somehow in the message.

Later, when the message is received, we can look for that flag in the message and only return a small amount of text in the long_form routine.

This is done now with the seen field in the git.receive messages now.

This is done now (and deployed) as of fedora-infra/fedmsg_meta_fedora_infrastructure#233

OK, old email mechanisms are now turned off. FMN is sending pkgdb, git, and lookaside messages to the scm-commits list.
