I'm trying to integrate Hudson into our development process, and everything is going smooth except for one thing.

I had been using Phing to do deployments, and one of the things that was being triggered was an email to our tech support email address containing a list of all the commit messages between the last time code was deployed and the present SVN revision. I was doing something like this:

• read in a file from the root directory of the currently-deployed application that contains the SVN revision when the app was deployed
• place that value in a Phing variable
• insert that value into a command to send the SVN commit messages via email
• create a file in the root directory of the newly-deployed application that contains the current SVN revision

I'd like to be able to add that information to the email that gets sent out by Hudson when a successful build goes out. Any pointers on how to accomplish this task in Hudson would be greatly appreciated.
