If your goal is to make whatchanged less necessary, I think you would need to special case --diff-filter as well for "git log", although nobody on #git channel seems to have noticed. I often run --diff-filter=A when I am trying to see when I added a particular file, to avoid getting distracted by other types of changes; log would be still shown if do not disable --always.
