And for use to rerun changes in case recovery from backups is needed.
(Some CVS operations, e.g. tagging, don't have a mechanism by which they
can run scripts to send mail etc.. It would be useful if any replacement
version control system allowed every write operation to run a script given
full information about the operation, so a proper distributed audit trail
of changes like this can be created.)

Also so that years later it is easy to get hands on the complete change
committed to CVS as a unit, for backporting or whatever.

It isn't. Following hundreds of links a day of the offchance that one
might be wrongly reverting something or wrongly committing something isn't
a reasonable solution to the problem. The idea of this wishlist request
is that the patches themselves go by in email - exactly as committed,
which may differ from how they were sent to gcc-patches, or they may not
have been sent to gcc-patches - for bogus reversions, or bogus changes
(e.g. other changes in the same tree that weren't part of the given patch
and shouldn't have been committed) to be spotted.

To what extent is this request superseded by the links in gcc-cvs messages to
the cvsweb pages giving precisely the corresponding patches?

>Description:
Could we please have a gcc-cvs-patches list, with all patches
automatically sent to it exactly as they are committed to CVS?
>How-To-Repeat:
Observe bogus changes in a commit not covered by the ChangeLog entry
or commit message, that could be more quickly detected if an automatic
mailing of committed patches were available.
>Fix:
Adapt the machinery that creates the gcc-cvs messages to also create
gcc-cvs-patches ones. These should include proper diffs for added /
deleted files, and for files that diff counts as binary; I suggest
-uapN as suitable GNU diff options, with the patch getting gzipped and
uuencoded if it is very large or passes some tests indicating it might
get corrupted in mailing (contains control characters other than
newline / tab / form feed or very long lines).
