Subject: suggestion: the title of mails in the cvs mailllist should show the changed location instead a hash value

Hi, after the git migration, I see that the email title changed in the cvs maillist like:

gdb and binutils branch master updated. 5c2955e2ec5ca2e80098763d6fdda317dc4b2f39
gdb and binutils branch master updated. 7283b932234f3501eb19c1750d79c20fc339f32a
...


Compared to the original name before git migration:
src/gdb ChangeLog infrun.c testsuite/ChangeLog ...
src/gdb ChangeLog c-varobj.c


I think the old style email title is still better than the current one, it at least showed some changed files/locations, so a reader(like me, I use the news://www.gmane.org:119/gmane.comp.gdb.cvs to receive the updated emails) can briefly see where the commit modifies by reading the title. With the current name scheme, you know nothing about this.

Any ideas?
