Generally I like the idea to keep the list informed about changes in the
CVS. It keeps things rolling. But in my experience digested mailings never
get read :-P 
OTOH sending all CVS commit messages as separate would spam the list more
than necessry... 

The bottom line is, that I'm a bit undecided what's the best in this case.
