Meh.  Maybe hooking something up directly to SVN would be better than
writing yet another dodgy email parser.  I don't want to upset anyone
with regular polling though.. not that I'm even entirely sure how I'd go
about it in the first place.

Is there a cutoff for these, ala perforce?  I could pipe them through
diffstat to keep freshbsd.org's Delta's updated, but if megacommits
aren't going to work with that I'd need to either give them up or
consider alternative ways of getting at them.

Also, we're no longer getting CVS file revisions, so I guess I should be
using the SVN revision and linking to ViewVC now?
