Hello,

I noticed a few minor typos in the changelog.
 * The default abbreviation length, which has historically been 7, now
   scales as the repository grows, using the approximate number of
   objects in the reopsitory and a bit of math around the birthday

 * Output from "git diff" can be made easier to read by selecting
   which lines are common and which lines are added/deleted
   intelligently when the lines before and after the changed section
   are the same.  A command line option is added to help with the
   experiment to find a good heuristics.
Maybe the name of the command line option should be added here.

Simon
