It is more usefull for changes which have natural mult-commit history, to review and comment on each of commits/patches in series _separately_. >> Although that might just make the email bigger for not a lot of >> gain. > > It's my understanding that most changes discussed on lkml are provided > as a series of patches.

You have git-format-patch + git-send-email to format and send them, git-am to apply them (as patches, not as branch). I was under an impression that user sees only mega-patch of all the revisions in bundle together, and rest is for machine consumption only. cg-bundle doesn't have this "mega-diff", but has shortlog (does bzr bundle has shortlog/log of changes contained therein?) and diffstat was planned. -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git
