It's a radio button we toggle to email the committers between two builds. The 
official help of this option is this:

"If this option is checked, the notification e-mail will be sent to individuals 
who have committed changes for the broken build (by assuming that those 
changes broke the build).
If e-mail addresses are also specified in the recipient list, then both the 
individuals as well as the specified addresses get the notification e-mail. If 
the recipient list is empty, then only the individuals will receive e-mails."

So it's a rough heuristic on the 'safe side'.

That said, I'm not entirely happy with the 'git' support in hudson. It works 
sort-of, but you can't for example check out multiple git repos for one 
project. Well, you can, but they are all checked out in the same 
directory/repository !! So testing the rtt + ocl combo for example, would 
already require to write my own git magic instead of using the hudson plugin 
for git. I wouldn't recommend moving to hudson if you have something working 
already :-)
