Do you need this on-demand, or can a scheduled "report" be generated & emailed?

Will the consumer of the report really understand what the details of
each change really mean? I ask this because in the past I have
generated logs for auditors which provide all this information, but
because those auditors don't understand Subversion or how our software
is actually developed/managed, I had to explain what each entry in the
report actually meant for them.
