CIA.vc notifications in IRC
Randall remind me that I haven't implemented IRC notifications for
commits yet so I started looking at CIA.vc's GIT support. The more I
look the less I think its a good fit for Git. This is mostly tied to
the fact that lots of old VCS hooks are written with an assumption of
"one push is one commit."
So with CIA.vc (unless I'm missing the docs, which includes reading
the source to the recommended git hook) we have to think about things
like, one IRC notification per commit, per branch, or per push. IOW, I
don't see a good way for messages like "davisp updated refname [hash1
... hash2] <link> <summary>" type notifications.
Alternatively, I can write a short script that just does the IRC
notifications which isn't too hard. Its a bit hackish, but we use
similar things at work and it seems to be more robust than even
GitHub's IRC bot.
Anyway, input is requested so I know what I should be looking at.

Does that mean you're not volunteering for pager duty?

There's a difference between pet projects and robust systems for a serious project. ;)

I'd have a chat with the CIA.vc guys, to see what they say. We're obviously not the first people wanting notifications for a Git repository. I would avoid writing our own IRC bot at almost any cost.
