IMO this is a developer list so such mails are expected, if we split the lists into two, it will be complicated (and error prone) to simply reply to those commit e-mails (this is very useful and also common practice), which kind of defeats the purpose, as the manual ChangeLog e-mails would still have to be created to keep this list informed.
For those who are bothered by these mails, it's very easy to filter them out BTW. (not so easy for digest readers, though). Or, another option is to redirect the diff-less (thus short) commit messages to this list and create a new one for the verbose commit mails containing full diffs. (maybe rather named 'svn-dif...@harbour-project.org', or similar) Any further opinions on this?
