+1 (+10 actually) As a sponsor I use the commit emails to monitor people 
I sponsored both for mistakes and unfortunatly also for bad intent. 
Unless my memory fails me I've sometime ago ctrl-C'd a cvs activity 
because I made a mistake. The changes however had already hit CVS, but 
due to the CTRl-C a commit mail never got send, thats bad!
