The reason I use postcommit is that this script has been in place on a
server that I have not touched for more than a year (if it ain't broke
- don't fix it). It is actually 2.0.38 and has been going like a
clockwork for a couple of years (or whenever 2.0.38 came out.
On thta version there was no postcommand available.

I agree with Tony that a postcommand entry is better and this is what
I am going to transform CVSMailer to use for consolidation. Today it
uses a delay before sending out the email so that all cvs calls can be
collected, but that obviously is not very good. Postcommand fits the
bill here and the email gets setnt immediately if triggered from
postcommand.
