Hi. Maybe because this is my first contribution to git I was strangely excited and decided to create a small blog post describing how the new mechanism works.

There is no javascript nor tracking nor ads... just good old html/css/pngs explaining how and when to use `mergetool.vimdiff.layout`:

Hope someone finds this useful :)
PS: Please let me know if this type of message is not appropriate for this
mailing list and I will never do it again... I just thought it might be good to
explain the new feature in a blog post to prevent it from going unnoticied
considering how "hidden" the new configuration variable is. Thanks!
