Well, yes, actually diffs are derivable information and shouldn't be
stored in the change log.

Jay, I haven't got the time, but we would need to adapt one of the
Perl scripts in the CVSROOT of cm3 to do that.

I don't know how difficult it would be (and won't try as I'm not
really good in Perl and haven't got the time right now), but a decent
Perl hacker should be able to do the job quickly ;-)

Any volunteers?
