The current scripts rely on the fact you can install hooks on the master 
tree everybody pushes to.
I cannot do that, I instead have a clone on the patchwork host and do 
cronjobed pulls. The post-merge hook is then used to analyse the pulled 
change-sets.

Ok, I'll send a new patch with the function split out, any preference on 
the destination file name ?

Simo.
