This sounds really good! I was thinking that the netsync tickers should be listing 
branches, manifests and associated keys as they come in, but a hook sounds better. It 
would definitely make it easier to track what's coming. At the moment I have branches 
checked out all over the place and am manually doing updates to see what's gone on.

I wonder if the hook could even optionally do a monotone log between the id's that have 
arrived so you could email something like an incoming change log. I've been thinking 
recently that log should be able to take 2 ids and show the logs between them. Assuming of 
course that they are somehow related I guess.
