The occasional >1meg emails from big commits are kind of a pain, like when doing an import or merge. It was nice to have immediate access to scan the diffs for sure. But the web interface to the diffs is a lot more useful. Ideally, there would be a size cutoff for the diffs, like 50k or something.
If you really want it, I can deal with it again...
no problem, i can deal with it as well :-)
as for the sizes: i guess i have pointed out in an earlier mail, that i personally think, that source-files should not contain (excessive) data. e.g. HRTFs (this was the main reason, wasn't it?) are _much_ better stored in soundfiles than in header-files. inappropriate use should not keep use from having features.
as for the pain: no one is obliged to subscribing to pd-cvs. those who want to stay up-to-date on a short notice, can use IRC for that (i guess there are some filtering options, where you can tell your client to just display the cia-bot messages)
finally, if you opt to receive pd-cvs in non-digest mode, you can select whether you want to receive emails of all topics, or only of topic "autobuild" or only of topic "CVS". since i don't know of anybody using this feature (iirc, it was a feature request by tim), i don't know whether it actually works, so take care :-)
