Adam's 'git graph' is a way of viewing log (in terminal environment), it looks very similar to 'git log --pretty=oneline' and it accepts very much the same command line options. That's why I see 'git log' being logical place for such functionality.

Actually, to me it would be more logical if 'git whatchanged' was 'git log --changed' or '--verbose / -v' something.
