They loop over oldrev/newrev pairs but if you push a lot of commits at
once, you'll only get one such oldrev/newrev pair in post-receive,
unless you push to different refs in which case you'll get one
oldrev/newrev pair for each ref you push to ... I guess. The script
only sends one mail per push, the subject looks like this

  [SCM] foo branch, 1.0, updated. 1.12-10-gd463edd

or

  [SCM] foo annotated tag, 1.13, created. 1.13

and the mails don't contain any diffs (ok, that's easy to fix but then
we'd end up with tons of commit diffs per mail).

So, when the comment in the script says "the rule is that (for branch
updates) each commit will appear on one email and one email only" it
actually doesn't mean there will be individual mails per commit.
