1. Install java(http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp)
2. Make sure java is in your PATH. To test this, open git bash, and type "java". If it says unknown command, you need to add JAVA/bin to your PATH variable (A guide for this can be found at https://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml ).
Committing
1. Before starting to edit the map, double-click "Prepare Maps.bat" in the tools/mapmerge/ directory.
2. After finishing your edit, and before your commit, double-click "Run Map Merge.bat" in the tools/mapmerge/ directory.
This will make sure in the new version of your map, no paths are needlessly changed, thus instead of 8000 lines changed you'll get 50 lines changed. This not only reduces size of your commit, it also makes it possible to get an overview of your map changes on the "files changed" page in your pull request.
