A commit that has no changes at all (which is quite possible) will never be shown by git-whatchanged. So in many ways, "git log" is the way to see all commits. "git-whatchanged" is really just a way to see the _changes_, and by defauly it ignores merges just because the changes are "complicated". Linus
