The requirement to add --i-still-use-this for git whatchanged in 2.51.0 is currently generating errors in Jenkins GitSCM, which, unfortunately, still uses that command. I have reported this as an issue to that team.

It seems to me that we could have some .gitconfig option, maybe core.ignoreDeprecations=true or core.iReallyMeanIt=true to suppress the requirement to provide this option on the CLI because of unintended consequences.

Note: There does not seem to be a way to add the option in Jenkins.
