We have different interpretations of "big" and "trimmed" :)

3kb is pretty small.  That commit I just made was quite trivial, and it
didn't make it.  Changes bigger than 3kb are really the ones you want to
see, where the commit log message isn't sufficient to understand what just
happened.  Any chance of this being changed, or is it a KDE-wide thing?

As for trimming, I meant if you have 1000 removed lines, and 1000 new
lines, having something like

 [500 removed lines skipped]

is fine.  The SF.net messages did this sometimes, I think;  but they never
omitted changes completely.
