Sylvain,

It's time to proceed with this. But first, a couple of quick questions.

I have not been able to find (your version of) the log_accum.pl script
to confirm, but the following email implies that we might be able to say
-m emacs-commit -m mh-e-devel on the command line:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2001-11/msg01079.html

Then there's the question of the -D option as well.

Also, is there an option to generate unified diffs instead of context
diffs? With large hunks, it's impossible to compare the changes in
context diffs.
