The one-file-per-issue format is not an optimal way to maintain these documents in a self-respecting version control system. Granted, they do not "diff" very well, but that is something we can improve by defining a custom diff driver for them. "What's in" are just a glorified "git shortlog --no-merged" without any additional comments, and I am very tempted to drop them. I haven't issued them for quite some time, and nobody seems to have noticed.
The compare-cooking.perl script is meant to help viewing the differences
between periodical "What's cooking" messages, and can be used as an
external diff driver by:
$ git config diff.whatscooking.command ./compare-cooking.perl
to produce this section in your .git/config
[diff "whatscooking"]
command = ./compare-cooking.perl
You can use e.g.
$ git log -p --ext-diff whats-cooking.txt
$ git show --ext-diff whats-cooking.txt
to review the history.
