Is it possible to get both short commit e-mails containing only the log
message and the affected files (as it is currently with tetex-cvs), and
long mails with diffs? Then we could create a list on alioth which gets
the diffs - no one would have to subscribe to it, but if a commit seems
interesting, the diff is just a click away.
If this is not possible, I think all the lurkers here on the list should
speak up. I certainly don't mind getting a bunch of big mails, ready
for filtering into a specific directory. But not everybody on the list
might share this opinion.
Regards, Frank
