I have two slightly different answers to that question. First, I think
that the historical weight against "perversion" of e-mail with things like
URL's is really more to blame. Yes, on those rare commits that touch a lot
of files you end up with a lot of links in the e-mail. So what? :)

Second, I have a procmail recipe that not only inserts cvsweb URL's into
commit mail, it also creates links for PR's if present. You can get it at

Enjoy,
