Sure, it's quite common. There's a list of scripts that support this
kind of functionality at the bottom of this page:

http://www.badgers-in-foil.co.uk/projects/cvsspam/

So there are plenty of alternatives to choose from. For example, David
Wheeler's "activitymail" can be instructed via a command-line argument
to include inline diffs, or include diffs as attachments:

http://search.cpan.org/~dwheeler/activitymail/

(that functionality described in "README")

Whereas "cvslog" seems to support both including the entire diff with
the message or including CVSWeb URLs:

Personally I'd prefer the entire diff to be attached to each -committers
mail, which would circumvent this problem. Would others find that
objectionable?
