https://github.com/AdaCore/git-hooks/pull/12 is marked "Approved".  It 
certainly has fixes for some of the issues reported in the GCC context, 
but I'm not sure if it includes a fix for that particular one.  And once 
"Approved" has turned into actually present in master, the upstream 
changes will need merging into the version used by GCC (replacing local 
changes where the features those implement have been implemented more 
generally upstream).

I think sending email for all branches showing the development taking 
place there (as opposed to commits that are already in the repository and 
are just being added to another ref) is entirely appropriate.

I don't know if deleting and then recreating a user branch (in separate 
pushes) avoids the limit (and the excess mails) in the case where a user 
branch is being rebased, but I expect it should.
