Email would not be appropriate -- users just want to check when tlmgr
does something surprising.  Could the log be included in texlive?  It is
useful to peek at the log from time to time.   Another option would be in
to include a URL for the log in the docs:

for revisions 11000--11999:
http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Build/logs/svnlog?revision=12000&view=markup

Is there a way to get the entries by date?
