How about adding an option to log so that *it* prints the diffs as it 
goes? I'm not sure but I think this is a trivial addition and it would be 
nice to have at times I think.

In terms of the email idea, if you were to able to track which revision 
id's you have already sent notifications for (perhaps by sticking some 
custom cert on them, or keeping a file of their id's) and had some nice 
way of listing all available revision id's in the db into another 
file, a diff of these two files would give you all of the revisions you 
now need to send notifications for. Adding a "list revisions" command 
would almost do the trick here I think.
