<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Slava,<br>
Thanks for explaining. Would this be something useful for others
then me?<br>
<br>
It seems the technical issue is solvable by adding a switch to
the git-notifier:<br>
"<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--allchanges</span>
<branches></tt>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
<dd>Lists branches for which <em>all</em> changes made to them
should be
mailed out as straight diffs to their previous state,
independent of whether the corresponding commit has already
been reported in the past. For merge commits, the mails
include the full diff (i.e., git's <tt class="docutils literal">diff
<span class="pre">-m</span></tt>). This might
for example make sense for <tt class="docutils literal">master</tt>
if one wants to closely
track any modification applied. <tt class="docutils literal"><branches></tt>
is a list of
comma-separated names of heads to treat this way.</dd>

<pre wrap="">Hi Vassil,
Since a merge commit has two parents you might potentially want to diff against, I'm assuming the tool is not smart enough to know which one is the PR and which one is trunk. Perhaps this is not too hard to fix with some kind of heuristic though.

Hi,
I am trying to follow the development of swift more closely recently. I noticed that there is no diff below merge commits of pull requests to swift-commits mailing lists. I'd assume this is intentional, but feels awkward. I was wondering what was the rationale for that?
Many thanks,
Vassil
