On a related note, is there any git hosting service that will produce RSS feeds with inline git diffs?

I'm rebuilding a hacky RSS feed generator that used bash, cron and webSVN with git, and I've not found any hosted git remotes that produce RSS with diffs inline so I can review changes in my reader.

The first thing that came to my mind is you could use Yahoo!Pipes for this. The second was "oh!".

Even before they shut it down, Pipes was a bad fit -- it's preferred data format is RSS, and that's the very thing we're lacking here. It's also very error prone; one small change in the HTML and your scraper needs to be rewritten to adjust.
