Get the Changelist Id from an environment variable?
I'd like to be able to embed the matching git changelist id into my build version & notification message.
I notice that you have it nicely exposed in the build UI. I looked to see if it might be exposed to the build script via an environment variable -- didn't see it.
It would also be great to have the URL back to the github commit page like you do in the UI. This would be awesome from a notification feature perspective.
Last (and complicated) question -- if I could get the changelist titles of all the changes since the last good build on this branch and pop those into a notification -- wow!

Closely related -- is there an environment variable for the branch name too?
Just noticed my whole complicated multipart script comes down to:
* create an evironment variable for the branch name
* only send email notifications for the test and production branches

You can find a list of built-in environment variables here: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/environment-variables
Regarding change titles - I think you can use AppVeyor REST API to query the list of builds: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/api/projects-builds#get-project-history

Cool, almost there. Can I make a notification conditional based on branch? Specifically, do you have a syntax like notification: on: branch: production?

If you do conditional builds then notification settings are already branch-specific, no?

Well, I removed the conditional builds since it was causing me to duplicate the code. I'm to the point where notifications are the only thing I can't modify behavior on a branch by branch basis without using conditional builds.
So my ask if you've added the ability to deploy conditionally based on branch, perhaps you could expose the same branching logic for notifications too?
Alternatively, if I could leave all the identifical code unduplicated and then have a small conditional build section that only contained my notification logic, this is also a clean design.

Sure, why not. Feel free to submit a new issue here: https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues
