Subject: [PATCH] git-notify: Send notifications on ref changes, too

Do not only generate notifications on commits, but also if a branch head
or lightweight tag was created, removed, or modified.  Notifications on
branch head updates are omitted if one or more commit notification have
been generated and the branch head now references a descendant of the
originally referenced commit (which should be the usual case).
