I agree that those 300 emails dumps are more annoying than useful.
But FWIW, I see two problems with your suggestion:
1- I don't know how to do it.
2- I do find it very useful to see commits on scratch branches when
   those branches are used for gradual development (e.g. the byte-switch
   branch).

Maybe the problem can be solved by sending one email per push instead of
one email per commit.
