Many open source git trees have the ability to allow users to sign up to a mailing list that is used for reporting commits to the tree. Ideally, there'd be two options... one mailing list for any commit (on any branch) to the git tree, and then separate mailing lists for each branch. The action of causing an email to be sent can be accomplished fairly easily using server-side git hooks - post-receive and/or update. There is an example git hook script for sending commit emails which is part of the git source code release. Of course, maintaining the mailing lists is another issue.
This is something we do when a project requests it. We don't provide the kind of granularity you seem to be seeking(one mailing list per branch), instead we do one list per repository(unless the project wishes to group several repos into a single list). -M.
Corey, if this will help you/others and you'd like me to request this on behalf of the project, I'll gladly do it.

I think it would be very useful for me, and others in my team. I find it makes it easier to track what's going on with the tree if I can see all of the commits as they are being made, rather than having to "poll" whenever I happen to remember to. So, yes, please request this :-)
Ok, well why don't we handle it on this bug. Andrew: is this for Linuxtools or another project? -M.
Yes, this is for Linux Tools. Thanks, Matt!
OK, I've created linuxtools-commit@eclipse.org(you can signup here: https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxtools-commit ) and have linked it to: /gitroot/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.git . Let me know if it's not behaving. -M.
