Incidently, what I could deal with is if we create an atomic commit number and collect the individual rcs deltas together and store it in a file or database or something. Then we can put one http:// link in the bottom of emails which allows looking up by commit number and do all the cvsweb links from there. That keeps the html junk down to a minimum and actually gains us something in the process - we can use other tools to mine the data for MFC'ing complete changes etc. Cheers, -Peter -- Peter Wemm - peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com; peter@netplex.com.au "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
