If you are thinking of

  [alias]
    whatchanged = log --raw --full-history

it does not quite work. git-log unconditionally sets --always, and there is no command line option to turn it off. In most cases you could get an approximation by using --no-merges, but it would still show commits that actually have no tree change (there are 2 in git.git).
