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.
