Quite frankly, from a review standpoint, very few people should need to (or want to) review individual commits when there are 50 of them (they might only care about the changes that 3 or 4 of them make, but they get lost in the noise), but at the same time, if you have a single diffstat like this: 45 files changed, 2071 insertions(+), 362 deletions(-) then you're also going to have people not able to give good feedback. In contrast, if you send out an email like this one, but that has the combined diff of say 10 commits in one area, and the diff is a couple of hundred lines of changes rather than almost 2,500 lines, then you'll definitely get people who are able and willing to look at four chunks like that. IOW, they'd be big enough that people hopefully don't start nitpicking about some *totally* uninteresting small detail, but small enough that people can read it through without losing concentration about a quarter of the way in.
