Trac commit notifications on stable branches

Hello everyone, For a long time we've had a Git hook which adds comments to Trac tickets mentioned in commits on the master branch. Today I enabled similar notifications for the commits on the stable branches (e.g. ghc-8.0) in an attempt at reducing the overhead of maintaining the stable branches. Please let me know if you find these additional notifications too noisy. Cheers, - Ben

I did notice today that I received a lot of emails as you were merging
patches to the stable branch.
If it makes things much easier for you then I don't mind the extra
notifications but it would perhaps be better to suppress email
notification somehow.

Well, the email volume was no different from my usual merge practices since I typically leave comments of the sort that the Trac hook produces manually. The only difference is this time they were automatically produced. Unfortunately, the Trac notification messages don't mention which branch the commit is on unlike the messages I typically leave manually. I'm evaluating options for fixing this. If it seemed like there was a lot of messages today that is merely because I was doing a lot of cleanup on the ghc-8.0 branch today. Cheers, - Ben

Ah right my bad. Seems like a good change to me then.
