Sure - it can't work automatically for every situation. Perhaps we just want (first) something that works for svn@subversion.tigris.org.

For each of the paths listed at the top of the mail as "Added" or "Modified" it could prepend a statically-configured prefix: default "", but for us "http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/". This would give:

Modified:
   http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/include/svn_error.h
   http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/svnversion/main.c

instead of

Modified:
   trunk/subversion/include/svn_error.h
   trunk/subversion/svnversion/main.c

Hmmm... not so easy to read, but nice for single-click browsing to take a quick look at the file.

Better, if there is a ViewCVS server available, and if it has a "commit summary" for each commit, just give the single link to that.
