Thanks!  Now up and running at http://identi.ca/securitytestingtree

This is the post-receive script I hacked up:

----
#!/bin/bash

read oldrev newrev refname

short_refname=${refname##refs/heads/}

/usr/bin/git rev-list $oldrev...$newrev --no-merges --pretty=format:"%h|%ae|%s" --abbrev-commit | grep -v ^commit | while read a; do
	echo "$short_refname|$a" | cut -f-140 | ~/bin/bti
	sleep 1
done
----

I'm sure it can be greatly improved.
