One last note (I promise ;)):

I would recommend against saying 'git difftool head' on your
blog beause that only works on OSX with its case-preserving yet
case-insensitive filesystem.  It might be worth mentioning that.

If you try 'git diff head' on a different filesystem (for
example, if you tried it on Linux) you'll find that it doesn't
work because the file is .git/HEAD; .git/head doesn't exist.

On OSX the filesystem tells git that .git/head exists even
though it's actually finding .git/HEAD.
