Some simple scripts that are intended to run from cron. They create a simple web page

and/or email summarizing the commits that have occurred since the last time the script

was executed. This allows a daily summary of a repository to be mailed round and is

useful given that, for example, git triggers issue alerts each time someone pushes

to the repository.

There is a script for `git` and a script for `svn`. The `git` script just sends round an

email summary (repository browsers are so good a web page is not needed). The `svn` script

creates a web page and an email.

Note that for the moment the configuration options are hard-coded into each script in

`%SETTINGS`. These settings could easily be shifted to a config file.

The scripts create a small file in a directory indicating the most recent SHA1 or subversion

revision so that it will know where to restart.

The crontab entry simply needs to indicate which repository from the settings configuration

hash should be used for this run.

The `svn` implementation is based on work Norman Gray did for Starlink. They are here in case

anyone else finds them useful.

The scripts are distributed using GPL v2.
