SubjectWould it be better for git-commits-head to have -M -C diffs?
Date
Would anyone else prefer to see the posts on the commits list use git's
copy and move detection?

Git show (used by the feed-mail-list script) does support -M and -C.

It does affect the stat section. The recent commit 758db3f21187 would
have had its stat changed from looking like:

arch/h8300/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 +
arch/h8300/include/asm/a.out.h | 20 ++
arch/h8300/include/asm/atomic.h | 144 +++++++++++
.
.
.
include/asm-h8300/Kbuild | 1 -
include/asm-h8300/a.out.h | 20 --
include/asm-h8300/atomic.h | 144 -----------
.
.
.

to looking like:

.../asm-h8300 => arch/h8300/include/asm}/Kbuild | 0
.../asm-h8300 => arch/h8300/include/asm}/a.out.h | 0
.../asm-h8300 => arch/h8300/include/asm}/atomic.h | 0
.../asm-h8300 => arch/h8300/include/asm}/auxvec.h | 0
.../asm-h8300 => arch/h8300/include/asm}/bitops.h | 0
.../h8300/include/asm}/bootinfo.h | 0
.
.
.

but would have been 512 lines and 24271 octets instead of 10623 lines
and 291634 octets.

I think it would also be useful were the From: header of each message
set to the commit's Author. I run each commit through a script to do
that locally, but the archives would also benefit from that.
