This would be 'diff -u' output for all the files which changed in a commit, which would be more convenient than going thru the CVSweb interface to separately pull up the commit to each file. If we use a separate mailing list, then I won't want to join the mailing list because the vast majority of changes will be ones that I do not care about. But for a few areas (or interesting-sounding changes), it would be nice if I could pull up all the diffs for everything changed in a commit by just clicking on a URL. This is just a vague idea I've had for awhile... I'm not completely sure how to put it together so it would work smoothly. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
