I think matching what we do now is quite correct for the initial conversion. gcc-svn-patches should be a separate list from the present gcc-cvs rather than suddenly starting to send much larger messages to the gcc-cvs subscribers. I don't think gcc-svn-patches needs to have any message size limit (or if it does it should be very large, e.g. 50MB) though it might be worth considering sending diffs more than say 1MB as compressed attachments if that's reasonably simple to do. But we can refine gcc-svn-patches later, including such things as attaching binary files for which we can't send diffs and attaching diffs for non-UTF-8 files (some message catalogs and testcases) to avoid problems with messages claiming to be in UTF-8 which aren't. -- Joseph S.
