I think we are better off doing "git show v1.5.0..v1.5.0.1" for
that, but we do take multiple objects.

I find myself running "git show --stat v1.X.Y v1.X.Y+1" every
time I tag a new release Y+2 to find out things like:

	* Should I say "Git v1.5.1" or "GIT 1.5.1"?
	* Ah, I have to update GIT-VERSION-GEN, which I did, good.
