There are some other problems as well, starting with the subject being "gnucash-htdocs branch master updated. svn_last-12-g3580119" instead of the first line of the commit message.

Are these scripts writable by others besides you and Geert? (I think that's yes and that
they're in the gitomatic setup, but I don't remember how to get to them). If so and if Geert doesn't have time I can take a whack at it on Thursday.
