Revision control is cool. So are RSS feeds. Today I took the svn2rss script available from the Subversion website and hacked it up to make it a lot more verbose (and useful in my opinion).

We can now track commits to our repo, what module it was committed to, who committed, what they said, and what files changed, all from a handy-dandy RSS viewer. Much, much more sensible than email.

This also brought to my attention the lack of support for HTTP Basic Auth in Blam!.

Some fiddling with permissions and post-commit hooks will most likely be required. I leave this as an exercise to the reader.
