Those who are on MS-Windows don't need to hunt for
git-merge-changelog farther than this:

  
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/git-merge-changelog-0.1-2-w32-bin.zip/download

As for git-new-workdir, it isn't included in msysgit, and I wonder
whether it's because it somehow relies on features not available on
Windows.
