Stefan,
Were you thinking that all the release notes would be quoted verbatim in
the one long man page?
Or that it would be a set of links to each of the individual text files
(see the ifdef::stalenotes[] in git/Documentation/git.txt)?
The latter allows individual release notes to be checked, but still
leaves folks with a difficult search problem if they want to find when
some command was 'tweaked'.
Obviously, any method would need to be easy to maintain. And the
RelNotes symlink would need handling.
Philip
