gitweb is also not horrible for things like this. You can point your browser at

  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/vfsmount-guts

and click on the top-most commitdiff. Then you can see follow the rest
by just clicking on "parent", and you get the nicely colorized diff
with changelog entries etc. Or you can pick-and-choose based on
shortlog name.

So linear series like these can be looked at even without direct git
access. Sure, you'll get that "generating.." thing if the cache is
cold, and it all depends on how fast the net is, but it's not
necessarily any worse than being mail-bombed.
