The script post-receive-email is from the "git" git repository in contrib/hooks.
The envelopesender is for setting up an email address to send to when
a mailing failure occurs and the script uses the -f option to sendmail
for this.
The "From" line for the email is set up by the generate_email_header()
function which sets it to the git committer. I presume that is where one
would want to change the code.
It could be set to a config variable which could be setup as git at oss.sgi.com

So I guess some questions about this:
* do we want a square brackets tag in the mail subject, and if so what should it be
* do we want the repository description in the subject
  (I've trimmed the description back)

The aim for this email was to have it like TAKE messages - and let people
know the changes to the tree.

However, I don't think we ever sent TAKE msgs for updates of the
kernel part (non fs/xfs). Do we want this or not?
