I know a magic.  It is the combination of commitinfo and loginfo and
it is already used by cvsmailer which is used in ruby-cvs.
(I know another magic which doesn't use commitinfo, though.)

I think cvsmailer works well.  For example, the recent mail from
ruby-cvs reports several directories in a mail:
rough/lib/testunit/packages/runit-compat/lib/runit,
rough/lib/testunit/packages/testunit/lib/test/unit,
rough/lib/testunit/packages/testunit/lib/test/unit/ui, etc. as
follows.

|     rough/lib/testunit/packages/testunit/lib/test/unit:
|       assertions.rb error.rb
|     rough/lib/testunit/packages/testunit/lib/test/unit/ui:
|       testrunnermediator.rb
...

If a committer commit files in several directories at once, only one
mail is generated.

However, frequently I failed to commit files in several directories at
once.  This is another problem.
