So, I actually find these notifications less helpful than they could be.  I'm
used to being on various "-checkins" mailing lists where every change to a
tree is included in the notification in unidiff format.  This is a great, low
impact way, to monitor what's happening to code you care about.  It's also a
cheap way to propagate post-commit review of changes.  It's not uncommon for
example to see a Python commit be questioned and adjusted after the fact
(that's why we have a vcs, right? :).

I would love to see the same thing in these -changes notifications.

How hard would it be to do that?
