For each project yo would like to push to masterbranch you need to activate your post-commit hook.

Commit formating and further hooks

The payload parameter is a url safe base64 encoed string to avoid issues sending the data.
As you could see in log2json.pl the data sent is a json list with a map for each commit. e.g:

[
	{"revision":"5c5afa47cf7cd15d5366aca5c0fb40607e5288f2",
 	"author":"Juan Luis Belmonte <[email protected]>",
	"timestamp":"1322532384",
	"message":"removed bashisms",
 	"added":[],
	"modified":["git/masterbranch.sh"],
 	"deleted":[],
 	"other":[]},
	{"revision":"d6d2b3258cb0e38b900a593b6a176d8907ce1ccd",
 	"author":"Juan Luis Belmonte <[email protected]>",
 	"timestamp":"1322102399",
 	"message":"testing issues with with escape characters  / ",
 	"added":[],
 	"modified":["git/masterbranch.sh"],
 	"deleted":[],
 	"other":[]}
]

The hook just clears the backslashes present in the string but other problematic characters like double quotes are handled in the server.

regarding to this format and the safe url base64 encoding you can write your own hook or fork this one.
