No commit messages on emacs-diffs after the switch to bzr

[Sven Joachim]

Since the switch to bzr, commit messages no longer appear on the
emacs-diffs mailing list.  Is anyone working on restoring that feature?

Yes, I believe Stefan Monnier is, based on some previous mails.  But I
don't know the details -- Stefan, any word?

No, I"m not working on it any more.  The savannah people have some tool
for it already, IIUC, so we should ask them to enable it for our
Bzr trunk branch.

I hope this can be fixed soon, I consider this an important feature.
(I see the ticket is indeed classed as "important".)

Anyone know if there is any chance of getting the backlog of missing
diffs when it is fixed?

BTW, you wrote "emacs-commit at gnu.org" in the ticket, but it is
"emacs-diffs" (as in the subject of this topic):

http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-diffs

Also, some parts of Emacs (mh-e and possibly org and others) had
previously asked Savannah for special rules to get duplicates of
relevant commit messages to their own mailing lists; I imagine they'll
want to keep those rules.

Thanks.  I went and checked in my mail folders to see, but of course,
the commits used to be split across two different list (one for metadata
about the change, the other for the diffs themselves), and I must have
grabbed the address of the former.

I've updated the ticket now.

Also added this question to the ticket.
