    Is it possible to shorten Subjects of commit emails for PHPDOC?
    To make it easier to see the end of line, i.e. exact file changed.

Why? Do these 6letters really annoy you that much? No, but besides these 7 extra symbols there is also author name, letter date, flags and all other useful stuff that doesn't make the information fit into one line.

Why should it? The most important info are the files and the module.

I think it makes sense to print out the module name, then the path and at last the filename. This is how all other cvs modules do it, phpdoc should not be any different. It makes sense only if you are using many modules. In phpdoc we use only two, one of which (livedocs) can be integrated with docweb. So the biggest problem is with loginfo script. Now I see - nobody woants to hack it - should have thought about it in the first time. Ok, what about making a separate list for maintaining phpdoc/ tools then?

You said earlier that it was already decided to split the lists down... make it happen :)

From:

    [PHP-DOC] cvs: phpdoc /en/reference/filesystem/functions feof.xml

To:

    [PHP-DOC] cvs: /en/reference/filesystem/functions feof.xml

    The only confusion could be possible if commits were mailed to
    [PHP-DOC] from different CVS modules, but that is not true.

It is, prefix a commit message with [DOC] and it will get sent here. I can't see the connection with CVS modules nor I think anybody really uses it. Where is the rule, BTW?

CVSROOT/loginfo.pl, was added couple of weeks ago. AFAICT there haven't been any commits made to php-src that need documenting.... -Hannes
