correct. only when you type "monotone commit". it's also not done after 
merges or reads.

sure! new hooks are pretty cheap. or, if you prefer, it might work just 
as well to call the same hook from multiple places, perhaps with an 
extra parameter or something.

well, the easiest thing I think would just be to open a file, write an 
email message to it, close it, and os.execute("sendmail ..."). the 
standard manual[1] should help with that. but there is also a 
luaSocket[2] library kicking around which knows SMTP, if you want to try 
doing it up at that level.
