I think the diffs are nice to have there (as for binutils-gdb and glibc)
for following the development on gcc-cvs.

The hooks have an option hooks.disable-email-diff to stop sending diffs,
but it looks like it disables the diffstat as well so then the emails
wouldn't include the list of changed files either.

They are capped. hooks.max-email-diff-size is currently set to 524288
(I'm not sure what the exact message size limit is on the gcc-cvs mailing
list, but emails larger than that were quite common for some branch merges
in the SVN era because of very long lists of files changed).
