Hi, I used to work in an organisation which didn't have a web front-end to its version control system so there would have been no way for them to just provide a link to see the diffs. Each commit that was made against a bug resulted in an attachment being made to that bug containing the diffs that were committed. The attachments were named after the branches that the commits were made to, to account for the frequent situation where you had to commit to quite a few branches.
Strangely, on your first commit to a branch you'd get a "Diffs--branchname" enclosure, and on the second you'd get a (if I recall correctly) "Diffs--branchname.p3" enclosure. If such a scheme is implemented for scmbug, I hope that the suffix numbers start from "2" and not "3" :) Of course, nowadays I would think that attaching the diffs isn't the "right" thing to do and that you should go to the version control system (via a link) to see the diffs. I guess that since CVS doesn't do atomic commits, you can't easily see ALL the diffs at once, which is probably a nice thing to be able to do, but with Subversion I suppose you can?

I suppose it is also possible to add support for specifying in the log message the name of a file you would like to attach, or some way of retrieving that file. But, what would be the purpose of the diff attachment in bugzilla ?
