Git 2.51.0 has deprecated the 'whatchanged' command. The git client plugin for Jenkins still uses the "git whatchanged" command to generate its changelog.

I hope to release a replacement soon, but am only starting the implementation now.

'git whatchanged' is nominated for removal. If you still use this command, please add an extra option, '--i-still-use-this', on the command line and let us know you still use it by sending an e-mail to <git@vger.kernel.org>. Thanks. fatal: refusing to run without --i-still-use-this
