As I understood it, the email sent has a combined diff that shows the net effect of all the commits included in the bundle. (Whereas the current Cogito version only shows a diffstat) If the recipient of such a bundle is unable to extract the diff of each separate commit included in the bundle then I can't see any value in the feature at all. But showing a combined diff in the email may have marginal value, so long as when the bundle is imported into the recipient repository the individual commits are available. > It's my understanding that most changes discussed on lkml are provided > as a series of patches.

The constant refrain is to ask people to split their changes up into smallish individual patches for review.
