Would anyone else prefer to see the posts on the commits list use git's
copy and move detection?

Git show (used by the feed-mail-list script) does support -M and -C.

It does affect the stat section.  The recent commit 758db3f21187 would
have had its stat changed from looking like:

 arch/h8300/include/asm/Kbuild              |    1 +
 arch/h8300/include/asm/a.out.h             |   20 ++
 arch/h8300/include/asm/atomic.h            |  144 +++++++++++
                        .
                        .
                        .
 include/asm-h8300/Kbuild                   |    1 -
 include/asm-h8300/a.out.h                  |   20 --
 include/asm-h8300/atomic.h                 |  144 -----------
                        .
                        .
                        .

to looking like:

 .../asm-h8300 => arch/h8300/include/asm}/Kbuild    |    0 
 .../asm-h8300 => arch/h8300/include/asm}/a.out.h   |    0 
 .../asm-h8300 => arch/h8300/include/asm}/atomic.h  |    0 
 .../asm-h8300 => arch/h8300/include/asm}/auxvec.h  |    0 
 .../asm-h8300 => arch/h8300/include/asm}/bitops.h  |    0 
 .../h8300/include/asm}/bootinfo.h                  |    0 
                        .
                        .
                        .

but would have been 512 lines and 24271 octets instead of 10623 lines
and 291634 octets.

I think it would also be useful were the From: header of each message
set to the commit's Author.  I run each commit through a script to do
that locally, but the archives would also benefit from that.
