It is very annoying and antisocial to script-commit one file per command to
GNOME CVS. There are people who want to know what's going on in their module(s)
so that they need to get cvs-commits-list and some people may even want to
read all of them since they want to know what's going on.

And compressing everything is just not an option, not all people are able to
compress their mail before fetching them from a POP3/IMAP server.

I really don't know why you seem to be annoyed because of me mail - even so-
called "newbies" and translators learned their lessions and don't commit
one file per command and I don't see why this doesn't apply to experienced
people like Alan as well.

It shouldn't be so hard to remove the `cvs commit' line from that script and
then manually commit all files with one command per module.
