just had a look into the script and there *is* away, to avoid sending 
the diff's.

i really think there are 2, but one does not work...
the magic is done in the first argument to syncmail:


what we have now in loginfo is something like:
DEFAULT /cvsroot/sitedocs/CVSROOT/cvstools/syncmail %{sVv} pd-cvs at iem.at

's' in %{} is the cvs-module that is updated
'V' is the old cvs-version of the file
'v' is the new version of the file

a) the simple, not working solution would be

DEFAULT /cvsroot/sitedocs/CVSROOT/cvstools/syncmail %{s} pd-cvs at iem.at

which means, that no versions are given to syncmail, thus preventing it 
from generating a diff (because it doesn't no, which files to diff)


b) the dirty hack is

DEFAULT /cvsroot/sitedocs/CVSROOT/cvstools/syncmail %{svv} pd-cvs at iem.at

which makes syncmail compare 2 identical versions of each file, 
resulting in no diff.





but as long, as i am the only one bothering about diffs in my mails, we 
could probably leave it as it is.

just my cents
