Hi Upayavira, Thanks for the hint. Indeed with changing the config file (which allows special configs for specific subtrees of the svn, so we can do it only for Lucene), we can do it very easy:
http://opensource.perlig.de/svnmailer/doc-1.0/#groups-generate-diffs "The generate_diffs option defines which actions diffs are generated for. It takes a space or tab separated list of one or more of the following tokens: add, modify, copy, delete, propchange and none. If the add token is given and a new file is added to the repository, the svnmailer generates a diff between an empty file and the newly added one. If the modify token is given and the content of an already existing file is changed, a diff between the old revision and the new revision of that file is generated. The copy token only worries about files, that are copied and modified during one commit. The delete token generates a diff between the previous revision of the file and an empty file, if a file was deleted. If the propchange token is given, the svnmailer also takes care of changes in versioned properties. Whether it should actually generate diffs for the property change action depends on the other tokens of the generate_diffs list. The same rules as for files apply, except that the svnmailer never generates property diffs for deleted files" If we change that config option and remove propchange, then the diffs would not contain propchanges anymore. It would it only list as modified files, but with that we can live. Grant: Can you send me a copy of the current config file of that tool? I could create a patch! (I am allowed to see it).
