[sr #109942] restore automake-commit mail?

[Bob Proulx]

Follow-up Comment #22, sr #109942 (project administration):

> *-commits -- the commit with full new versions of modified files.

> *-diffs -- the commit with diffs against the previous version.

When I look at the old emacs-commit list archive I don't see a full new
version of modified files posted there.  What I see is a URL to the viewvc web
archive of the commit in a message that is very similar to the git multimail
introduction header message for a series of commits.  So even the older CVS
mail hook did not seem to send out full copies of modified files.

git-multimail has a commitBrowseURL variable and feature that allows adding a
URL to the web archive of commits.  It was not in the earlier versions but is
available in later versions.  This could be added to any of the git-multimail
configurations and then a URL would appear for each of the messages.

git-multimail allows sending the introduction message to a different mailing
list than the individual commit messages.  The various variables are
"mailinglist" and "commitlist" and "refchangelist" and perhaps some others. 
If only mailinglist is set then both messages go there.  If both are set then
each is as specified.  Or it may be the other way around.  Some
experimentation would be needed.  But I am sure it is possible to send a
message similar to the old emacs-commit messages in addition to the current
emacs-diffs messages.
