There was a suggestion to start augmenting the checkin emails to include the diffs of the checkin. This would let you keep a current snapshot of the tree without having to do a direct `cvs update'. I think I can add this without a ton of pain. It would not be optional however, and the emails would get larger (and some checkins could be very large). There's also the question of whether to generate unified or context diffs. Personally, I find context diffs easier to read; unified diffs are smaller but not by enough to really matter. So here's an informal poll. If you don't care either way, you don't need to respond. Otherwise please just respond to me and not to the list. 1. Would you like to start receiving diffs in the checkin messages? 2. If you answer `yes' to #1 above, would you prefer unified or context diffs? -Barry
