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.
