Sure, but that's not what the commit list is about, at least not on that level.
While a summary of the 'oneline' option at the top would be nice, having a
least the abbreviated diffs (as before) would be tremendously helpful -- I know
that I only rarely read diffs past the point where its commit message is cut
off due to laziness and lack of time, and I'm sure I'm not alone there.
Furthermore, I find the format used there rather bad -- the same kind of
information could be presented a lot easier.

For that, an RSS feed is indeed better suited. I think the best possible
solution was already suggested by Ingo. Or, alternatively, one message for each
commit with a numbering so that you know which commits belong together (like
"1/8").
