You can check specific file update history on Mercurial or Git Repository and notify it via email.
I wanted to check update history ONLY pep-0008.txt on hg.python.org, but commit mail archive ML was closed -- for PEP editiors only and could not get specific file history log from hg.python.org atom feed. This is a motivation for creating this tool.
This program is tested only on *nix. Patches are welcome.
- Mercurial or git
- Python 2.7 or later
$ git clone git@github.com:mumumu/repos_file_update_checker.git
