The current version sends a diff instead of the full page text.

This happens in sendPageChangeNotification() in lib/WikiDB.php. All you'd
need to do is add a line to create the link:

$revertlink = WikiURL($this->_pagename, array('action'=>'revert','version'=>$previous), true);

and then make sure that $revertlink ends up in the mail which goes out at
toward the end of the function.
