The problem is that the Trac RSS feed doesn't provide very much context
about the changeset.  This is a particular problem in OSM because it
uses a single repository for all code and documents.  You have to click
on the changeset link to see which file was changed, and a diff of the
change.

Can I ask one of the admins to setup a svn-commits mailing list and then
drop the attached script into $REPO/hooks/.  You'll need to tweak the
path to the commit-email.pl script depending on how and where Subversion
is installed.

Thanks,

Keith.
