Using the "What's cooking" scripts outside of Git

I was toying around with the idea of generating a "What's cooking" email
similar to Junio's for our internal development, and I'm wondering if
anybody has any experience using the scripts outside of the standard Git
repository.

Our repo is laid out slightly different, there's no "next" branch but
there are a number of "in development" branches that get folded down
into master.

Any tips would be appreciated


Cheers
