If we go back to individual commit mails with diffs, is there

there anyway to prevent from flooding the list with all those
commit mails
but to send individual ones for regular 2 or 3 commits in a row?

I'm not sure we would see a flood on a merge, probably only one
commit saying 'merged gtkbuilder branch'? The gtkbuilder commits
should appear as they are committed, not on merge.


I think when you merge it makes all the commits onto the branch that
was merged into also.  At least this is what happened on the
xfce-commits list when one of the devs merged several branches with a
total of 800+ commits in them, each triggering a commit mail :)

Isn't --no-ff or --squash not able to prevent this?


IMO, it's not good to mess with the history just to avoid triggering commit mails.
