Where can I find good templates for svn commit emails?
Google led me to this. Even though it was much better than the default post-commit, I didn’t find it very useful.
Help much appreciated.

I have found a combination of SVNSpam and the native python scripts to work very well. SVNSpam sends a html email with colored diffs which are really easy to read.
There is a bug in SVNSpam that wont allow it to handle binary files. So, in the post-commit hook I set up the usual python mailer script that comes with SVN Hooks package. I have it so that if SVNSpam returns an error code (and it only does so for binary diffs and tagging), the python mailer script is called. This handles everything very well for us.
