The primary function is for a human reading the list (where patches directly inline in the message are by far preferable to URLs). I believe the SVN log mailer supports mailing patches anyway. So you could get 90% of the benefit by having the SVN mailer run twice for each commit, once with the present configuration for gcc-cvs and once with a different configuration (including patches, 10MB message size limit (and a similarly large limit for the list itself), truncating rather than splitting anything larger) for gcc-cvs-patches. -- Joseph S.
