Nope.
The only option would be two separate mailing lists.

Though the general idea about the diffs was to limit the diff size to
something like 100kb (as it was before in the SF SVN commit mails) or
any other value which we consider reasonable.

Yeah, a little hackish but would solve the problem probably well enough
together with a general max commit diff size limit.
