The reason for sending the whole diff is to get an instant peer review of all patches. If you patch 15 files, doing individual diffs for every single file is just way too much bother for anyone, with individual revision numbers for every file. This "free" sanity-check of committed patches is a requirement for being as relaxed about giving out CVS accounts as we are. If you're on a slow modem, don't read CVS log messages. Unless you use POP of course, but why on earth would anyone want to do that? - Stig -- Stig Sæther Bakken <ssb@alltheweb.com> Fast Search & Transfer ASA, Trondheim, Norway
