Automatic commits won't work because you always need to do an update before you
can commit a file that needs a merge. And the resulting code is very likely not
to compile.

Now I'm not sure e-mails would be the right solution. The likely outcome is that
it will generate enough trafic that noone will look at it. If you read the
section "What is CVS not?" in the book, you'll see "CVS is not a replacement for
communication" ie, we should not try to automate everything. I suggest commiting
small changes regularly and sending e-mails only when breaking source
compatibility. I think with a little coordination and care, we can avoid most
problems with little pain.
