Post patch to gnus.cvslog?

Post patch to gnus.cvslog?

[Simon Josefsson]

Wouldn't it be nice if the entire patch was included in the automatic
notification to gnus.cvslog?  I find myself looking at them sometimes,
and using cvs manually for this takes some time..

Yes, that would be nice.  Perhaps one group with patches and one
without, for those who subscribe to the cvslog mailing list.

What magic would I have to stuff into the cvslog script to do
something like that?

The diffstat code already generates patches; basically rather than piping
them through diffstat, you can just collect them and add them to the mail
message.  That part's fairly straightforward; the slightly harder part is
figuring out a good way to specify that the notifications should be sent
to one address and the patches to another, since CVS doesn't support
running multiple programs for a single commit.

Yes, please. My bandwidth costs enough already that I am willing to pay
in time when I do want to review a patch. :)
