A problem with this that I can see is what happens when a 'mega' commit
occurs, i.e. when someone changes lots of files in the same commit.
It is really necessary to provide cvsweb links for each file/change?

I favour the unique commit id idea instead, and teaching cvsweb or
something about how to use these to determine a set of related
commits.  It would then make sense to add a single link to the email
message that evokes cvsweb to show the commit set.

I suggest that we add the unique commit id (generated by commitcheck)
to the cvs log message automatically.
