this is not a real bug per se but anyway:

it would be quite nicer for us poor reader monkeys if the subject
could contain the path of the altered directory (eg: here
alsa-kernel/pci/) like most CVS or SVN commit maillers do.

thanks :-)


btw, it would be better if reply addresses weren't "ALSA HG Logger
<noreply@alsa-project.org>" and "alsa-cvslog@lists.sourceforge.net"
since the former is obviously not to user and the later is probably
limited (at least i supposed it is like in some other projects)

my 2 cents.

see you

and even like the old CVS commit mailer of ALSA:

"Subject: [alsa-cvslog] CVS: alsa-kernel/pci/pcxhr pcxhr.c,1.2,1.3 pcxhr.h,1.1,1.2 pcxhr_mixer.c,1.1,1.2"

The revision numbers don't make sense on SCM.

But I agree that the current subject is fairly useless.
Maybe the first commit-log line would be best for the subject line,
too.  It's used for the subject line of patches, so why not for
notification mails, too.

well, i don't care about revision numbers, only at knowing the actual
subject of the mail :-)
the directory would be enough.  It would be even nicer files like in
the above example.

why not? that would be as nice as knowing what was altered.

Basically I object to (automatic) inclusion of modifies files /
directories in the summary.  I want to know more about what the change
is for rather than which files are modified.  Usually the changelog
summary (the first) line mentions which component is changed (if not,
it's wide spread).  That should suffice.
