Well, yep. I want to test this with a bunch of good ole' commits logs
first, and make sure it works as expected. Then the plan is to
integrate this to the CVSROOT scripts of FreeBSD and make sure one can
choose whether diffs are sent by something similar to CVSROOT/access.
If that works reasonably well, then perhaps we can have the following:
cvs-all-diff
A list like cvs-all is now, where anyone can subscribe and
receive diff output as long as normal commit logs. This has
the advantage that cvs-all remains as it is today, and those
who want to also get patches in their mailboxen unsubscribe
from cvs-all and subscribe to cvs-all-diff instead.
committers
Nothing changed in cvs-all, but let committers get diffs.
This leaves things unchanged for cvs-all, but lets committers
receive diffs too, while everyone who is subscribed in cvs-all
continues to receive shorter mail. (Bandwidth is not cheap
for some of the subscribers of cvs-xxx lists, so making them
receive patches might be an overkill.)
