The main reason was to minimize the network load on a (IIUC) already 
loaded server.  And I see that the git_multimail.py script also handles 
the multiple lines case by itself.  So I would suggest something like:

#!/bin/sh
TMP=$(mktemp -u)
cat - > $TMP
cat $TMP | hooks/post-receive-git_multimail-emacs
cat $TMP | hooks/post-receive-ci.heytings.org
rm -f $TMP
