Thank you Rob, I knew mirrorservice.org, but I didn't know they offered
more functionality than just the mirroring service :)
Even though it's more complex, I think we can use this to automate some
stuff I required. I'll see if I can set up a service that offers diff's
between commits from mirrorservice.org.
Bedankt !
