David did the commits-mailing-list script and I'm working on a commits web-page like what was formerly seen at: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/cset/ (with daily tarball) based on some older scripts from David, however I'm wondering if a variant of the gitlog.sh script wouldn't be a better starting point for it. --- ~Randy
