I agree. Having the link(s) facilitates accessing the info without
excessive cluttering. It also means that the earlier issue of
multi-file commits becomes much less of an issue, and the limits (or
thresholds) mentioned in the suggested solutions (eg, diffs only if
it's a single-file commit, diffs for up to 5 files, etc) could be
raised substantially. Still, an import of a gcc update might still
make for a rather large E-mail! :)
