Sure it can be done, with mercurial you can even make a python script to do it, but anyway both git and mercurial support the concept of making a diff patch to send changes and send it by email. Ok, it's not exactly what you are requesting, it's a collection of patches, but the good news here is that git/hg can deal with sending those changes and also integrate those changes. Examples: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/PatchbombExtension --> to generate patches and mail them http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MboxExtension --> to import changes from a mbox/thunderbird > o Perhaps even go to the extent of generating a mail message with > attachments with the field ready to describe the motivation for the changes > and what they do in human terms.

Yes, at least, tortoiseHG has a "Diff to local" that allows you to graphically explore changes between two changesets. > I'm no Cmake/mail expert so I'll defer to others more knowledge about how > daft or impractical they might be. I haven't used TortoiseGit, but looks quite similar. The good thing with a scripted DCVS is we can consider the option to perform tasks automatically making custom plugins (scripts). cheers, JL. -- Jose L.
