I just whacked XCB's update hook with a similar change to what I have
in cairo.

When I first made the cairo hook, it was only sending the diff for a
single patch pushed (most recent patch perhaps?). Hopefully now it
will do all of them.

Oh, it's probably doing them from most recent to oldest, which is
likely a confusing order though.

I do wish the hooks were under revision control and more visible by
default, but here are the basic changes I made if you want to
experiment with .git/hooks/update yourself.
