I like getting the diffs inline. Pretty much 0 chance of me making the
effort to see them otherwise. Grouping commits would be great. (Though
I seem to recall it looked hard to make that syncmail script do it...
prove me wrong. ;)
We could have two lists, one just with filenames/links and one with
verbose diffs. The grouping thing would be nice for both.
