As far as I'm concerned, the only problem with such branch moves is
the potentially epic number of commit notification mails. If so, the
email hook should check if the push generates a new branch, and send
only one mail then, like "100 commits have been pushed into the new
branch foobar; see >>here<< for a complete log vs. master and >>here<<
for the diff".
